Has anyone used this software? I am using it in beginner mode and have turned off the sensors. My problem is the servos only turn for 1.2 secounds and no more even if I turn the time to the max which is 25.5 secounds.

Any help would be nice.

Thanks,

Randy

    What type of computer are you using, is it a laptop?· If so, what type? ·Have you tried to disconnect the serial cable and press the reset button?

    Thanks,

    Thanks Dave,

    That did not help. One note I do not have the sensors installed. But... I thought that if I unchecked the box "sensors enabled" they would not be needed. I am trying to us this with a 3rd grade class and I wanted as little to get in the way as possible.

    I want to use the bot on a table sitting on a big paper map of a city with roads and buildings drawn on it. The students would then try and direct using the GUI-Bot software. The car would start at one point on the map and drive it to another part of town.

    Hello,

    Try the "Advanced" mode and see if it makes a difference.

    Thanks,

    Thanks but still no use. I am sure it is something I am doing wrong. Anyone out there used this software with good results? Please let me know.

    I had a student tell me the same thing last weekend. I haven't tested it for myself yet.

    What I found out last night was that I went back to an older version of the GUI-Bot software and everythings works fine now.

    Did you get the older version off of one of Parallax CD from last year or before? I would like know where to find the copy that you got to work. I have the last three Parallax CDs, so I will start with the one from last year. Thank you for the information.

    Hi Russ,

    I downloaded it for Parallax last year. The version is 1.0. Hope it works for you.

    Let me know if you can not find it I can send you a copy.

    Thank you for the help!

    I will have a look at the GUI-BOT software on my old Parallax CDs this weekend. The Parallax CD that came with this years' BOE-BOT has version 1.2.
