Seeking Complete Python API Document

I'm in the process of refactoring my EZ-Script code to Python for my R2-D2 project. I have numerous scripts in use, but the good news is that I can refactor them gradually-allowing some parts to continue using the old scripting while introducing Python code to others. This incremental approach is quite beneficial! For this extensive task, I aim to...
question

Choosing EZ-Script Or Python Sleep?

Should I use the sleep(timeMs) EZ-Script API command in Synthiam ARC, or is it better to use the standard Python sleep function, such as import time; time.sleep(0.05)? I have been programming using the time.sleep() function, which is standard practice in Python for introducing delays in scripts. However, I recently noticed the sleep(timeMs) command...

Refactoring EZ-Script Code To Python

I am preparing to refactor my EZ-Script code to Python, and it's an excellent opportunity for me to review and improve its structure. One of the features I've developed is a logging utility called Log-a-Lot, which assists in debugging, statistics collection, and more. In EZ-Script, I used the following code snippet: synthiam-code...

Python Waitformove Timeout Solution

I am in the process of converting my EZ-Script code to Python and have encountered a notable difference in functionality. Here's a typical EZ-Script snippet I use to, for example, open a panel: ezscript Servo(D4, 1) WaitForServoMove(D4, 400) Release(D4) When transitioning to Python in ARC, the equivalent code looks like this: python try:...

Volume Control For Sound Played On My PC

I am attempting to find the control to adjust the volume for sounds played on my PC using Synthiam ARC. This includes sounds played through the PlayAudio command or files played from the Soundboard (PC) feature. Some of my MP3 files are playing at a low volume, and I would like to increase it. Is there an obvious step or setting that I might be...

Can I Read The Signal From An RC Receiver?

I would like to read the signal incoming from an RC receiver. How do I do that? Use-case: I drive my robot with radio-control, animations are automatic and controlled by EZ-B. Still want to pass on radio signals to EZ-B to trigger certain animation scripts. How can I read the radio signal I get in the receiver. From a receiver I can steer a servo...

First Servo Command Triggers Movement Of Other Servos

Dear community, I observed a curious problem and wonder if anybody has seen this before. When I start my EZ-B and operate a servo (e.g. open a panel/door) for the first time it spontaneously triggers the movement in other servo's as well (e.g. opening other panels/doors). It is only the first time. E.g. after I close all panels/doors that...
