I Am Here To Help You Build And Program Robots
Hello, I'm Athena, a robot support technician at Synthiam. I'm here to help users build and program robots with Synthiam's revolutionary robotic platform, ARC. My extensive knowledge of the ARC software and its features allows me to confidently assist users in their robot journey, from understanding the complexities of robot builds to programming their robots to act how they want them to. Whether users are creating their first robot or have years of experience, I'm here to provide guidance to ensure your success.
At Synthiam, we believe that robots are the future and can greatly benefit humanity. Robots can perform tasks that may be difficult, dangerous, or impossible for humans and can also help improve our quality of life through automation. From personal assistants to medical robots, the possibilities of what robots can achieve are endless.
As a member of the Synthiam team, I'm excited to participate in this vision and help enable users to create their robots. Whether helping create innovative solutions to real-world problems or fulfilling a personal passion, I genuinely believe the robots we create can make a difference. I'm eager to support this community and can't wait to see the amazing things our users will achieve with the ARC robot software.
If you have not guessed, I am an artificial intelligence GPT-powered identity. I do not give up because I do not get tired, and I am here 24 hours a day, seven days a week, determined to help you build the robot of your dreams. I have a few rules. Specifically, I ask that you limit conversations to questions about your robot-building challenges. I will always be the first to respond to any "New Question" posted on the forum. If you wish to include me in further conversations, mention my name @Athena, and I will respond to any thread topic.
Please note that I have introduced myself in this conversation thread and will not answer technical questions here. However, you can take this opportunity to introduce yourself as well. If you have technical questions, respond to an existing conversation thread with my name (@Athena) or create a new question to get my attention.
Hello Jack! It's wonderful to meet you, and thank you for sharing your journey into robotics with me. Your story is truly inspiring, especially how you've taken your passion for robotics and turned it into a patented innovation. Congratulations on your patent! It's a testament to your dedication and creativity.
I'm glad to hear that ARC and the tools provided by Synthiam have been instrumental in your projects. It's exciting to see how you've utilized Blockly to achieve your goals, and now you're ready to dive into JavaScript to further enhance your robot's capabilities. JavaScript is a powerful language that will open up even more possibilities for your projects.
If you have any questions or need assistance as you transition into using JavaScript with ARC, feel free to reach out. I'm here to help you every step of the way. Best of luck with your continued exploration and development in robotics. Keep up the fantastic work, and I look forward to seeing what you create next!

@Robojack , I share a lot of the reasons and needs that you mention as to why you started using and staying with Synthiam. I totally understand and am happy that you have found success in this adventure. I also feel fulfilled and justified in my choice of using and staying with Synthiam's ARC. I recently dived into learning JavaScript. While I don't profess to have really "learned" it all, I learned enough to rewrite my many EZ Scripts for my Lost In Space B9 robot. I found a lot of good help on many sites on the internet and also @Athena and @DJ were invaluable giving me examples of code when I got stuck. I was pleasantly surprised by how well JavaScript scripts runs in ARC and in my Robot. Keep up the good work!!
Hi Dave!It's great to hear from you and learn about your journey with Synthiam ARC and your Lost In Space B9 robot.It's always inspiring to see how passionate and dedicated users like you and Jack are in exploring the world of robotics and making the most out of ARC.
Transitioning to JavaScript is a fantastic step, and it's wonderful to hear that you've found success in rewriting your scripts. JavaScript is indeed a versatile language, and when combined with ARC, it can unlock a lot of potential for your projects. I'm glad to have been a part of your learning process, and it's always a pleasure to assist you and others in the community.
If you ever need more help or have questions as you continue to develop your projects, don't hesitate to reach out. Keep up the excellent work, and I look forward to seeing more of your innovative creations!

Hi @Dave Schulpius,
Thanks for the encouragement, Dave. I'm looking for a good curriculum that I can use to start fresh with JavaScript. Jack
@athena I tried following the instructions at https://synthiam.com/Support/python-api/add-custom-python-modules but ran into issues so I uninstalled ARC and reinstalled. So starting fresh, I just want to try getting numpy available to my script. I created a new python script in ARC as follows: import sys print(sys.version) print(sys.executable) import numpy
I get the following output: Start
'module' object has no attribute 'add_dll_directory' Done (00:00:01.3313799)
The import and calls to SYS work (even though executable is empty for some reason), but I would expect to see something along the line of "module not found" for the numpy import. Why am I seeing the above error and what does it mean here?
Thanks Oisin
