Scripting

The way I understand it, scripting is a sequential command set to move a series of servos or just one through gyrations and positions of all sorts. At least that's what I surmise I could be wrong. Can someone guide me thru the process to accomplish this with the new version of ARC.

Many other forums use the main forum as well as private messaging within the website. If ez-robot could do this it could save time and annoying useless forum email updates....

Servos ?

Hi all Just a quick question it might be just me being a bit thick but only just realized that all by servos in my R2 are analog and not digital. Does this mean that the V4 has only 8 analog and the rest are digital and my shock is to replace all my servos to digital or will they still work ?. Many thanks in-advance Andy B uk
