@Timotei~

Once I got used to it, the MArmOS works like a charm.

I took the liberty to modify your MArmOS so it does not only take a ITextPanel (LCD Screen) but any block with indexed TextSurface (like a cockpit) for Debug, Log and Echo outputs. Drop me a message if you want it, so you can integrate it into your original version. Or if there is a git repository I could fork and send a merge request.

Does this have a Github?

for me no matter what i try to do it only gives me 3.0 not 3.1

And these funny rotors how to use on axis? if its following x axis, I still writing x or its

Yes. Hinges are just funny rotors.

Its supporting hinge?

Umm nvm I realized that I was running version 3.0 and once I updated the script to 3.1 she worked great! The example builds need updated though.

I have used this script extensively over the years and I have implemented it on various builds. But having just logged in to play some SE for the first time in about a year, I find that this script is broken! Is it over for this wonderful script?

@el.dusto18
This is a script for programmable blocks, not a mod.

i tried to add this via steam workshop but it inst appearing in the mod list

i have a large grid welding arm setup, but it is very prone to collision damage even at very low speeds with other loose grids. Like if i lightly bump a ship im welding so much stuff gets blown up. Anyone know how to fix this issue? Torque is relatively low

Does this work with modded pistons/rotors?

This thing is awesome and was easy to use. I couldn't get my arm to work with v2.0 some years ago, but it took me like 10 mins with v3.2 . Thanks a lot for putting all the time in to create and maintain this script!

Oh my...
Several hours and I just gave up. The guide is unclear and contains misinformation, the system itself is made too complicated
Also (for some reason) the only working example is the industrial robot, but it's just too much to understand if you are doing it for a first time (I tried to understand it and did some reverse-engineering, but my version is either sending errors or ignoring any inputs and I don't know how to make it work)
I just need two things: a simple mining arm with manual control and an automatic cargo capsule velder, why it has to be so painful to do by yourself?

Hello, this script have a Github page? i did some changes to the source since a few things can be improved using newer functions like Screen Surface for log and want to merge with the source

It's taken hours of practice, but I can now gradually get an arm working. Thanks for the great script!

Can MArmOS be used to create mirrored arms with tandem control?

I have an interesting problem set up an arm. mouse controls didn't really work. found someone else Bp, worked like a charm, copied everything and put it where i wanted on my base, (literal copy and paste), mouse controls didn't work. saw the work around, tried a few things, and only thing that worked, was putting the ENTIRE thing on a separate subgrid, programmable block, and arm on a different grid, worked like a charm. wasn't solely because it was static (the bp was on a static grid) but seems size is important.

As someone who has used this script for years, I can say it works well and is one of the best scripts for mechanical control out there. Often the issue in setup is due to not fully understanding the components and how they actually work, fixing it to a static grid to test or not reading the guides. A good way to learn this script is to use one of the sample blueprints: i.e. downloading the models that work to see how they are built under the hood. There are other script/mod options on the workshop, but when you make something less complicated you also lose the fine controls that MarmOS gives you or can have issues in multiplayer, which I haven't had with MarmOS.

You need to redo your guide, it's too complicated and really unclear.
I've been trying to make a simple arm with two rotors for several hours and nothing works.
Also, I've never been able to get the LCD Log to work.

How do you properly set up such an arm segment?

Now we need, LEGS

This script is too complicated to configure. Why can't it be made easier?

@volenoi. its a wonderful script. it works for 100's of people. You have not dont something right. Like maybe you didnt configure your arm? This is NOT a plug n play script. setup is required.

@Volenoi Skill issue.

Poorly made, doesn't work

It works for me. In any case, it's a good idea to copy the 'fresh' script from the workshop. Of course, don't forget to copy your arm configuration to the clipboard, or else you're going to lose it. The same thing goes for Timotei's examples. Load it, go to the programmable block, copy the arm configuration, copy the script from the workshop, paste the arm configuration, and voilà, it works.

I had posted that the last update broke the script; however, that is not the case. That said, most of the samples don't work until you update the script to 3.1.

+1 Broke with the last update, too bad :(

Hey, so the latest update broke your script, just letting you know

The arm doesnt show up for me when I build a blueprint and i cant spawn it in either

Orientation & solids make figuring out how this script is supposed to work extremely confusing. Can't tell what the orientation is supposed to be relative to and have no idea what the hell needs to be defined as a solid. Your guides just seem to randomly assign solids, I can't see any pattern. In your basic youtube tutorial you have one solid with of 3 blocks, including a piston. But only for the x axis and not the z axis's. It's just not logical to me all.

Can u add a visualization of "new solid" in world? Sometimes it's hard to understand what's going wrong. I guess it makes ur script more user friendly)

Would it be possible to control this with a 3D mouse?

I think far better would be to write script, that would scan your creation and generate corresponding rotor | solid | piston commands to paste into MArmOS script ...

Would it be possible to add 'Programmable Block DebugAPI' mod to draw solids and such in real time? It would be a godsend to know where, exactly, the script thinks the tip of my arm is at any moment.

@DazeyDream
Hey there i think that belongs into MArmOS help.
May you post there, so i can answer to it there?

I have a ship with 2 arms. Is there a way to make one arm go home and not the other?

Hey Timotei, i think quite a few people seem to have problems configuring MArmOS and i personally think it is a hassle to set up an arm.
Therefore i started to write a script to set up arms fully automagically.
Can I talk to you about that since i want to clarify how i'm going to release that script once it is somewhat in working order.

maybe it is the camera angle

Looks like something's messing while controlling arm with hinges : forward / backward is becoming up or down - I can't clearly understand why.. Do someone have an explanation ?

This script mocks Clang, i love it.

Thanks kaito. Obvious now that you said it, but I missed them before.

Look into hydraulics

Is it possible to use a piston as the actuator of an arm, instead of a rotor/hinge?

I may find bug.
I have forklift with remote control
In pilot seat arm works
With remoteBlock arm not work
No main controll is set

Русскоязычные кто в этом скрипте разбирается есть?

Could you update the Guide with the new commands?

Works

broken ?
