I am trying to write a simple script using Zaber Console.
I basically have to move my robot arm to a certain position (i.e. 43.9mm) hold the position for 10 minutes and go back to the home position.
I found all the command for moving (fast/slow and with a certain acceleration) but I can't undestand how to tell the machine to stay at 43.9mm poistion for 10 minutes.
Any suggestions ?
I am coding in "this language":
if(PortFacade.Port.IsAsciiMode)
{
Conversation.Request("move abs", 881890);
Conversation.PollUntilIdle();
}
else
{
Conversation.Request(Command.MoveAbsolute, 881890);
}
Thanks a lot.

For your reference, if you are coding through the script editor in Zaber Console, we offer a scripting page which covers C#, Javascript, VP, as well as Python. You can find the scripting page here: http://www.zaber.com/wiki/Software/Zaber_Console/Scripting
The language in your script is using C#, and a quick program to execute what you'd like to do can be written like this:
#template(simple)
var device1 = PortFacade.GetConversation(1); // This is assuming your device
// is device 1 in the chain.
// The device list in Zaber Console will let you know the device number.
// Alternatively, you can use the renumber command to change the device number.
device1.Request("move abs 100000"); //the data value for 43.9 mm will vary
// from device to device. The formula would be 43.9[mm]/ Microstep size[mm] = Data value
// The microstep size can be found on the product page at www.Zaber.com, or
// email Contact#Zaber.com
Sleep(5000); //Sleep is in milliseconds
device1.Request("move abs 0");
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email Contact#Zaber.com.

I'm using the NuGet package Plugin.BluetoothLE v6.3.0.19 and I can scan for nearby devices but mostly the names are blank. A few devices show their names but most do not. I also cannot see the mac address of the device I'm looking for.
The scenario is that I know the device name but need to look up the mac for connecting.
As I check the devices I need to check the device.name to see if it matches the device I'm looking for. If found it will attempt to pair and connect.
I'm thinking this LE (Low Energy) version does not get the names from every device unless it broadcasts it. So maybe I need to request more info? If so I don't know how to do that with this plugin.
var adapter = CrossBleAdapter.Current;
adapter.ScanExtra(new ScanConfig { ScanType = BleScanType.Balanced });
var scanner = CrossBleAdapter.Current.Scan().Subscribe(scanResult =>
{
var x = scanResult.Device;
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print($"{x.Name} - {x.Status} _ {x.ToString()}");
});
I am not very familiar with the BluetoothLE, but I found a course about the problem. I hope this can help you.
In addition, you can put the issue on this git. People who know the problem may help you.
i am currently working on school project the goal is whenever i say 'pi'(machine name) 'sing for me'(google = assistant)
since it would be easy if i use hotword but it is currently unavailable and doesn't support our language
at env/lib/googleassistant/--/pushtotalk.py 457 line
wait_for_user_trigger = not once
while True:
if wait_for_user_trigger:
->#click.pause(info='Press Enter to send a new request...')
->time.sleep(1)
continue_conversation = assistant.assist()
# wait for user trigger if there is no follow-up turn in
# the conversation.
wait_for_user_trigger = not continue_conversation
# If we only want one conversation, break.
if once and (not continue_conversation):
break
i changed here(->) so that every time it is on state but i cannot find how to call only if it's name is called
could you help me?
and could you tell me if i work this on (env) how can i import GPIO i need to blink led
I was successful with snowboy.

I'm trying to implement a very customized implementation of awesome.
I have two monitors. I'd like to have my first client always open on the left monitor (a Chrome window in kiosk mode), then all clients after open up on the right monitor.
Are there any custom layouts that accomodate this?
I'd be willing to program it myself, but I'm not sure how to bind a script to some kind of "new client" event.
The new client event is the manage event. It is emitted whenever, well, a new client gets managed by awesome.
To send the first client that ever appears to screen 1 and all following ones to screen 2, you could do something like this:
local first = true
client.connect_signal("manage", function(c)
if first then
c.screen = 1
else
c.screen = 2
end
first = false
end)
I've got a ASP.net page that create an excel file using eeplus library (http://epplus.codeplex.com/). my problem is that I create a really big file. It take times to be done and showed to the client. I search a way to show a kind of progressbar of the creation.
for the moment, the client click and wait til the file is created, so I cant really showed something.
What you're trying to do is actually pretty complicated. You might just want to show a spinning wheel gif or something and save yourself the headache.
However, if you're feeling adventurous, read on.
To use a progress bar, you need to create a way to measure how much % complete your task is. This usually involves some kind of incrementer that gets measured against the total number of rows/column/whatever that you're creating. I don't know what language you're using, so here's some pseudo to help you out:
var totalRows = 100;
var processedRows = 0;
var progress = 0;
while( processedRows < totalRows ){
Process_A_Row();
processRows++;
progress = processedRows / totalRows;
StoreProgressSomewhereForPolling();
}
So there's your basic mechanism for tracking progress. On the client, you'll need to set up a way to poll the value of the progress variable. This gets messy because you'll quickly learn that you need a way to isolate the progress variable for every individual request. Its up to you how to implement this -- there are lots of ways to do it. One solution I saw stored the progress value in a static dictionary keyed by username so that it could be easily polled by the client with webmethods.
A quick solution would be to use the Ajax.NET UpdateProgress control. Just display a GIF that spins while the server is processing.
The adobe documentation says that when listening for a keypress event from a phone you should listen for Key.Down, however when I trace the Key.getCode() of keypresses I see a number not the string "Key.Down". I am tesing this locally in device central and do not have a phone to test this with at present. Here is my code -
keyListener = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
switch (Key.getCode()) {
trace(Key.getCode()) // outputs 40
case (Key.DOWN) : // according to the docs
pressDown();
break;
}
}
My question is - is this simply because Im testing in device central and when I run it on the phone I will need to be listening for Key.Down? or is the documentation wrong? Also is the numeric code (40) consistent across all devices? What gives adobe?
thanks all
Key.Down is equal to 40 so it will recognize it as the same. So you can use whichever one you prefer, however, I would recommend using Key.Down because it will be easily recognizeable for those who dont have Key Codes memorized (most of us).
These are the Key Code Values for Javascript. However, I think they are pretty much universal
