Connection Diagnostic Skill Functionality

I have a question about the ARC Robot Skill called Connection Diagnostic. Does this skill monitor the connection of only the EZB at index 0, or can it manage other indices as well?
question

Monitoring EZ-B V4 Info Index

I have a question regarding the ARC Robot Skill called "EZ-B v4 Info." I assume that since I can't select a specific EZB index to monitor, only the EZB at index 0 is able to be monitored with this Robot Skill. Is that correct?

Improving IR Sensor Efficiency Javascript

Hi @Athena, I am working on repeatedly pulsing a Sharp IR sensor using JavaScript within my ARC project. Here's a snippet of my current script: javascript var increment = 3; var irValue = 50; var lowIR = ADC.get(2); sleep(10); // IR THRESHOLD FOR A HIT if (lowIR <= irValue) { missCount = 0; cycleCount++; kick = false; if (scanDir == 0) { negHit...

question

ADC Skill Resource Usage Inquiry

I understand that constantly running the ADC Robot Skill in an ARC project, especially when assigned to an EZB ADC port, can consume significant resources. Additionally, increasing the polling frequency for an EZB ADC port further intensifies resource usage. However, I'm curious, if this same ADC Robot Skill is installed and assigned to an EZB...

Arduino Firmware Modifications For OV3660

Hello , what modifications to the Arduino firmware are necessary to utilize the OV3660 camera in place of the OV2640 camera? I haven't attempted this change on my own, as I believe you might have the answer since the OV3660 camera is employed in the ESP32 Cam EZ-B firmware. This inquiry specifically pertains to the ESP32 Cam UART Firmware and is...

DSSERVO 3225 Servo Compatibility Inquiry

Hi @Athena, I am curious about the compatibility of a 25 kg DSSERVO 3225 digital servo, which operates at 4.8 to 6.8 volts DC, with my EZBv4. Additionally, I'm considering placing a 10F capacitor between the positive and negative wires. Would this assist or interfere with the servo's operation when using the EZBv4? Thank you, Jack
question

ARC Event Notification Capabilities

Does ARC have the capability to notify me when a specific event occurs, such as sending a text message, an email through Gmail, or a Facebook Messenger notification? For instance, I currently have a script in ARC that runs in a loop every 30 seconds to check its connection to the EZ-Robot EZ-B controllers. It would be beneficial if ARC could notify...
