Re: robotics
My only experience with robotics is Lego Mindstorms ;) As for the weight issue, have you seen the new Sony Vaio UX 180P? Perfect for his bike.

Re: Relayering and dragging a group within a group
Many thanks to Jonathan Lynch, whose post explains how to relayer groups inside a group. 1)set the relayergroupedcontrols property to true 2)move all the subgroups to the bottom of the master group - this has to be done in the correct order, so that when this process is finished the target group has moved up or down a layer as desired 3)set the relayergroupedcontrols property back to false For those interested, a script follows for the case where we're moving one group to the top. To keep the order of the non-relayering groups unchanged, I start from the "top" of the pile when moving them to the "bottom" of the pile; that explains the two repeat loops and the use of ids. on mouseDown lock screen put the short id of the owner of the target into tgid put the layer of group "wb" into myL repeat with g = 1 to the number of groups in group "wb" get the short id of group g of group "wb" if it is not tgid then put it & space before hold end repeat set the relayerGroupedControls to true repeat for each word w in hold set the layer of group id w to 1+myL end repeat set the relayerGroupedControls to false unlock screen grab group id tgid end mouseDown My simpler approach (script below) can also do the relayering job. Its defect is that for some reason the "grab" command at the end is ignored, whereas in the Lynch-inspired script the "grab" command works as intended. Does leaving "group editing mode" somehow terminate the mouseDown handler? on mouseDown if "button" is in the target then -- (1) put the group this button belongs to on top of other -- groups that are subgroups of group "wb": put the short id of the owner of the target into tgid start editing group "wb" set the layer of group id tgid to top stop editing -- (2) move this group with the mouse until the mouse is released: grab group id tgid of group "wb" -- THIS DOESN'T WORK end if end mouseDown David Epstein ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: robotics
Hi Greg Warning: I am a hobbyist at best, and haven't done any actual work with robotics. However i wanted to do a remote controlled vehicle once, and have sampled some information on rs232 due to that. I am not sure how many "datalines" you need (the number of sensors you want to poll + the number of motors you want to steer) If the number is less or equal 8 then you could use a serial to parallel interface, like described on this page: http://www.beyondlogic.org/serial/serial2.htm I never got to do it, because i couldn't get all the parts, as the schematic seems to be highly outdated, but the principle should be doable. You might as a soldering guru how to do that correctly. What you do is talk via the serial port with 8 bit code, which then gets translated into 8 single digital lines. for example if you send an "a", you actually send "1110" (or "0111" i always confuse the order) so these 3 lines will get power (5v), each of which you can then use to steer a motor. The same is true in reverse for reading data off the port. Also a warning at the end: For real time application i _guess_ that Rev/MC is not ideal, due to the way polling is set up. Basically the whole thing can be blocked by a processor intensive task or other means. For example on Mac OS X, no "send in x minutes" messages get send as long as you drag the rev window around. if you have further questions join chatrev and we discuss it... greetings Bjoernke On Jun 05 2006, at 19:51, Greg Kolodziejzyk wrote: Hey: I am a long-time METACARD user, and I am working on a project where some robotics is required.

In HyperCard, a standalone simply meant that the engine was embedded into the file on disk. And that is pretty much what Rev does too. Revolution extends the process a bit by embedding as many resources from the IDE as it can (script and image libraries, mostly,) but "standalones" still depend heavily on certain features of the OS.

It's not necessarily just a single file. As I see it, the distinction between a stack and the standalone built from that stack is that in the IDE the stack relies on resources from the IDE (the rev engine, various libraries...) which are which are packaged together into the standalone when it's built. So you end up with as much of the IDE as you need without the actual IDE. > Personally, I always use the word "exectuable" when talking about apps on > Windows and Linux, and "application" when talking about apps on MacOS...

robotics
Hey: I am a long-time METACARD user, and I am working on a project where some robotics is required. I have NO experience with robotics, sensors or controllers, but I thought it might be a cool learning experience. I also thought I could use metacard (Rev) to control the robotics stuff. Does anyone out there have any experience with using Rev for robotics? I would like to find a consultant or company that I could contract to help me set this up. If you are interested, the application is an auto-balance / auto-steer mechanism for a human powered vehicle I built for a speed record: http://www.adventuresofgreg.com/HPVMain.html Thanks, Greg K --- The Adventures of Greg BLOG: http://www.adventuresofgreg.com/ Subscribe to my email updates: http://www.adventuresofgreg.com/hvp.html ... ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Creating perfect cursors in Revolution
For the past two years I've benefited greatly from advice given through this forum, so I'd like to give something back in return. Creating cursors in Revolution has been problematic. Despite creating 16x16 images in black and white, sometimes the cursors do not show up correctly on both platforms. Sometimes there is only a white square or a black filled-in image. The following method shows how to produce perfect cursors every time for both Macintosh and Windows (qualifier: I used Mac OS X, Revolution 2.7 and Photoshop 7.0 to create them, and I'm not sure how other versions would work): Directions for making cursors in Revolution: 1. Open Photoshop. Name the image, Mode being RGB color, Background Transparent, and width and height 16 pixels. 2. Change Image/Mode to Indexed Color, using the defaults for indexed color (Palette: Exact; Forced: Web; Transparency checked; Matte: none) 3. With image maximally magnified, used the pencil tool to insert black or white pixels. Enclosed areas can be filled with white or black if desired and pixels can be erased if desired. 4. Save as PNG. 5. Bring the PNG image into Revolution and note it's ID number (it may be 1003 for instance). 6. In the script to call the cursor write: on mouseUp set lockcursor to true set the cursor to 1003 -- if that's the ID number end mouseUp It is interesting that sometimes there can two identical pictures in Photoshop, one of which will show up cursors correctly and the other will show up only a white square or a black filled image, even though all the parameters in Photoshop seem to be the same!! I don't know why this should be the case but it implies that there is something different about the two images even if not apparent. This can be easily corrected either by creating a new Photoshop 16x16 document, carefully duplicating the pixels of the defective image, or more simply, just pasting the defective image into the new Photoshop document. The cursors should then appear fine. I plan to attend the Revolution conference next week in Monterey and will bring 25 cursors I've created for those interested in using them. Perhaps they might be incorporated into a future version of Revolution.

Re: Problems building Mac OSX standalone (mostly resolved)
Peter, thanks, you were right. I needed to add several files to the location you wrote about, and now things seem dandy! One final puzzler: my custom icon (.icns) file is placed in the package at contents/resources/revolution.icns. When I launch the app, my custom icon appears nicely in the Dock. But it is still not used for the desktop icon. How do I get that to happen? Thanks again! Jon Message: 11 Date: Fri, 02 Jun 2006 15:54:25 -0500 From: "Peter T.

Then, examining the standalone, I see that Rev has not obeyed my command to create a separate stack file from each substack...in fact it's a single file. The new folder to contain the stack files is not created either. The app launches but doesn't work, as I would imagine since none of the files are where they are supposed to be.

Re: Relayering and dragging a group within a group
relayer a group that is within another group is rather tricky... It can be done, and I can send you a stack that does it if you want. What I have done is this - 1)set the relayergroupedcontrols property to true 2)move all the subgroups to the bottom of the master group - this has to be done in the correct order, so that when this process is finished the target group has moved up or down a layer as desired 3)set the relayergroupedcontrols property back to false This is, in my experience, the best way to do it. If you just directly change the layer of the subgroup, it will wind up being moved inside another subgroup, and will seem to dissappear. On 6/4/06, David Epstein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: When the mouse is pressed on a button, I want the group that it is part of to come to the front and be draggable to a different location.

Re: Random Hotspot location
Every "object" (or more correctly, "control") in Revolution has a location (or "loc") which is the x, y coordinate where that object is located. You can easily get and set the location of objects. Here's one way you could build your program using locations: 1. Put in your backdrop image. 2. Make small, square-ish buttons for each one of the hotspots. For convenience, name each button with the corresponding letter of the alphabet. Don't worry about making them invisible for now, but do position them where you want them to be. To make quick work of this, just draw the first button, then duplicate it and position it repeatedly. Then open up the message box, switch to the multiline mode, and enter this short script: repeat with i = 1 to the number of buttons set the name of button i to char i of \ "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" end repeat 3. Import as a Control the image you are using for the pointer. (Control-Shift-.) Name it "MyPointer" -- a PNG with a transparent hole cut out for the "Viewing Hole" works great. Another approach is to set the blend mode of the pointer graphic to 50% so it's somewhat translucent. 4. Create a new field, "MyWords" off to the side. Switch to run mode (white arrow) and enter a few words into the list, separated by returns. 5. Put a button below the word list named "Spell It Out" and put this in for the script: on mouseUp put random(the number of lines in fld "MyWords") into n repeat for each char x in line n of fld "MyWords" move img "MyPointer" to the loc of btn x in 2 secs wait 200 milliseconds end repeat end mouseUp When you click the button you'll see the pointer move to each letter, pausing briefly at each. What about all those ugly buttons? Hide/Show them by creating a new button with this script: on mouseUp repeat for each char n in "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" set the visible of button n to not the visible of btn n end repeat end mouseUp Clicking the new button will hide or show the buttons used as "hot spots." I uploaded a sample stack to Rev Online. Look under "MerryOtter" for the stack "Moving Pointer."
