​Robot Troubleshooting
1. Which Robot are You Using?

Controls

Each robot project consists of Control Panels.  Each Control is a behavior or skill for your robot and can be thought of as a process.

There are Controls for WiiMotes, Cameras, Speech Recognition, and many more.  Controls can be added to your project using the Add Control option located in the Project tab in the main menu at the top of the screen.

Add Control

Controls can be added to your project using the Add button located in the Project tab of the main menu.

Dialog

When the Add button is pressed, the dialog will be displayed with a list of all Controls in their respective category.  Selecting a Control will add it to your project. 

If you want the Control Panels to automatically rearrange themselves to maximize space within your Project, place a checkmark in the Auto Arrange check-box, located in the bottom left corner of the dialog box.

Help For Controls

Every Control has a question mark next to the close X button.  Pressing the question mark button will direct you to a help page for the respective control.


Settings/Configure Button

Every Control Panel has a Settings/Configure button.  Pressing this button will open the Settings dialog box for the respective control.  The Settings dialog box will present numerous configuration options on how the control will behave.

*Note:

• EZ-Builder's Settings Button has a gear icon
• ARC's Settings Button has three small dots, in the top right corner of the Control Panel

Settings/Configure Dialog Box

Each window has a unique Configuration Dialog with settings related to the behavior.

There is one common setting between all controls, which is the Control Title/Name.  Each Control requires a unique name.  This is because EZ-Script can send commands to Controls to programmatically change parameters.  As an example, you can use EZ-Script to tell the Camera Control to send the current image to Twitter.
