Python API: ProgramStart does not change RunMode-DavidG-01-29-2019
Hi,
I found an unexpected behaviour using the ProgramStart method from the Python API.
In the documentation for ProgramStart there is an example that says changing the run mode to RUNMODE_MAKE_ROBOTPROG would be redundant:
//m.sinclairbody.com/doc/en/PythonAPI/robolink.html#robolink.Robolink.ProgramStart
The annotations for setRunMode tell the same:
//m.sinclairbody.com/doc/en/PythonAPI/robolink.html#robolink.Robolink.setRunMode
I attached a python script that shows the run mode is not changed automatically.
Looking into robolink.py ProgramStart indeed does not seem to change the run mode.
So I guess either the function or the documentation should be revised.
Please let me know if I am wrong here.
Best regards
David

Hi David,
Thanks for your post and sorry for the delay, we needed to take a good look at what you sent us.
"Please let me know if I am wrong here."
You are not wrong at all, you found a bug and we will fix that in the near future.
That could take a few working day.
Jeremy
