can you export the project in csv, then in GP sequencer format, and send the four files (yourproject.csv, yourproject.shp, yourproject.EEP and yourproject.bas (or bs2)) to [email protected] please…
as i can’t make this bug occur here, it will help me to see what’s wrong…
Nervermind, i found the problem, you are using “reversed” servos uh ?
there’s a problem when exporting a project to the GP sequencer while some servos are reversed…it just don’t care about the reversed flag and exports as normal…
So, two things :
- i’m correcting this ugly bug today.
- PaulP is now my new official beta tester
Gulp…
Doh Doh Doh, now I understand the Sequencer… 
O.K.
Upload and Download via DB9 works fine. Tested Control Panel and moves all seem to be oriented the correct way now.
Will test what I can with sockets next unless there is something I’ve missed.
Managed to set SEQ as Server and connected via Hyperterminal to the app and got serial number back…
Have tested your sample app and that works fine…
Unable to test App as client at present as my Serial2Ethernet app is playing up and won’t let me run a service so I cant connect the Bot to TCP/IP as yet…
I bow to your programming skills, well the bot does…

The bot is running a stored sequence from the new control panel.
It is running in the background but video from my camera is not the best. (actually its good I just don’t know how to use it properly)
Very cool! Now I am going to have to buy SEQ for myself. 
I will get it one of these months, when I actually have a robot to use it with (probably The BiPod). I have other things I want to get first.

Thank you
And now to dig out the books. Gotta learn C because my tiny Atmega128 board should be here tomorrow any luck
Which one? I am still torn between getting my PIC programmer or something to program AVRs (like what Open Servo uses).

This one
comes with 14.7456 MHz crystal so no baud rate errors

Sorry for the hijack
Strange minor quirks
On the Visual Sequencer, I have written a label on the first step of each sequence so I can tell which one they are. If I move through the sequences in a forward direction using the blue arrows at the bottom I see all of them filled in. If I move in a reverse direction I see every alternate one. Now you see me now you don’t.
I added my sequences one by one and assigned them to the buttons. One or two of the sequences didnt add all the steps. For example one move had 9 steps but only 8 were added. When I checked the ‘To Step’ on the advanced play form there were only 8 in the drop-down. I exitted and re-opened the form and there were 9 this time and it assigned correctly.
Still cant get my Serial to Socket thingy working and I now know that C must always start at sub main…
In fact that’s normal :
- When going forward, sequence by sequence (right blue arrow), it always selects the step #1 in the new displayed sequence.
- But, when going backward, sequence by sequence (left blue arrow), there’s two possibilities,
if you are on the first step, it will select the previous sequence and its last step,
else if you are on any other step > 1, it will select the previous sequence and its first step.
Why ?
this way, when locking the “goto” button and browsing through steps backward, when you reach the step one of the sequence, you are able to use the left blue arrow to jump to previous sequence on its last step, which is a better choice than the first one as the “sequence -1” last step is the previous one of the “sequence” first step.
I’m looking if i can reproduce the second problem here…
I can see the sense in that…
Its not something I’d considered with my unstable biped. Its good giong to get to the end of one sequence let alone start a second one.
Laureatus…
Is there anything else you can think of I should look at for testing or have I caused you enough problems?
I’m fairly stumped on trying to get the bot on a Wifi link, I was hoping to use a serial to Lan virtual module so that the bot would physically be connected on RS232 but would appear to the P.C. as an I.P. port but the app I have doesnt want to play nicely.
There is one possibility that I’ve just thought of…
If I write a VB.NET app that has a Winsock for SEQ to connect to and a Comm port to connect to the bot, I wonder if I could just wrap the inputs and outputs…That way SEQ would think it was sending to a Socket…Is that right?
Wrote a dopey app in VB6 (dotnot examples are all console so got nowhere) and wrapped a socket to a commport…
Set commport as bot bluetooth virtual port (COM5). Opened SEQ and set the commport on there to something that wasnt going to work (Port 15 in this case) most buttons greyed out.
Set the Client settings to the App I had written and activated.
After a few moments the config dialog appeared and the Sequencer button became available.
Clicked Sequencer and the form loaded ( could see lots of QP going to bot) then got a “Cant show dialog error”.
Closed and reopened and this time got right in and all seemed to work fine.
Played a few sequences just to be sure…
Cant get the dialog error to come back so I cant give you the exact message. If it reappears I will get the message.
But at least it proved the core is working… That one I really am going to play with.
this one is corrected, when clicking on an assigned button it was not correctly refreshing the “step” list box according to the sequence #.
the V1.13 is done, what’s new in Visual SEQuencer V1.13 :
- 16 new assignable buttons added in the “Advanced Play” form (Pose 1 to Pose 16)
(45 buttons total now) - Idem as above for the Socket client demo program + 3 buttons to stop/pause/resume a playing sequence
- new socket server commands seq:stop, seq:pause and seq:resume to stop/pause/resume a playing sequence
- new socket server commands <buttonpress:pose 1> to <buttonpress:pose 16> in order to control the 16 new buttons
- sockect server command returns “Ready” or “Busy” as before or now “Paused” if paused or “Error”
if Visual sequencer is not in the “Advanced Play” form. - socket server command ssc-32:ver returns the SSC-32 firmware version as before or now “Virtual” if
connected to the virtual robot. - bug corrected : when clicking on an assigned button (Advanced play form), it wasn’t loading the correct “end” step
sometimes. - User Manual is updated too.
this new update will be online for download soon…
Stunning, I shall download and play ASAP
