Delay instruction #10

Closed automata closed 10 years ago

automata commented 10 years ago

A friend (@ttm) wants to simulate an agent walking through a graph, so some kind of delay instruction could help on that (i.e. time syncing), because he wants to play sounds in his computer while the robot is drawing.

I don't fully understand where you think this instruction should live. Is it in the UI or would you send a delay instruction to the Mirobot as a command?

It might just be better for him to use the Node.js library to synchronise things more easily than trying to use the UI.

I was thinking about a delay instruction in both UI and Mirobot. However, your suggestion is also interesting.

bjpirt commented 10 years ago

I'm not planning on adding delay to the UI because I think most people won't need it so it will make things more confusing, and I don't think there's much point adding it to the Arduino code because if you want to delay you can just not send anything until you want it to move. Hope that makes sense.

:+1: I think @forresto created an editor where we can control Mirobot using JS. Maybe my friend can get what he wants using that. Thank you Ben.
