Software interface description :

Open open a saved file ( the software storees data in xml format ) Save save your program to your computer( xml) Clear will clear the timeline , which is used to remove all the servos on the timeline Undo(hotkey:Z) delete the last added servos from the current timeline Redo(hothey:y) restore the last deleted servos to the current timeline Sample while adding 24 -way steering , one per line , in order to facilitate the user to debug , which will clear the servo has been added to the timeline Drag to add to add a new servo, note that it is rather special method of operation , when the cursor moves over it , hold down the left mouse button while dragging the mouse to the following timeline, at the right position and then release the mouse button, The adding of a new servo is complete, In the next step you can modify its parameters. Play Mode Play Mode Playback mode selection, there are three options: 1.play only once 2.back and forth 3.loop playback Connect open the serial port, (connect with a Servo controller) COM29 serial port selection, to choose your corresponding Servo controller serial port , if not found , it will display “No Port” 57600 baud rate selection , the default value is 57600 the total time of timeline

1.Press the button and then drag to the following timeline will add a new Servo.

You can add many Servo like this by clicked or double clicked in left or middle or right can open a window ask you input some data which is beginAngle, endAngle, beginTime, endTime, ServoId. If you want change the place of one Servo, just pressed the ServoId area and move

example

1. the timeline total time is 4s
2. In 0 seconds to 1.5 seconds, Servo0 from 0 to 100 degrees, then In 1.5 seconds to 4 seconds from 100 to 0 degrees;
3. In 0 seconds to 4 seconds, Servo1 from 0 to 180 degrees;
4. In 0 seconds to 4 seconds, Servo2 from 180 to 0 degrees.
