Wow, amazingly deep and inspiring insight into the path you've traveled that has brought us to ARCx. Thanks for sharing the how and whys of where we're heading with Synthiam. You're a courageous genius. We're all very fortunate and benefit from you having the ambition to bring your dreams and ideas to life. I feel very grateful that I've been able to witness a lot of the changes your dreams have brought about sense the early days of EZ Builder. I started using the Ver 3 EZB just after you released it along with EZ Builder and EZ Script. Because of your dreams, my dreams of having a real robot were able to come true. I'm looking forward to learning how to use ARCx and hopefully I'll be able to convert my many EZ Scripts into JavaScript. I don't want to be left behind after all this time. Thanks again for sharing the story of your continuing journey developing ARC.

The programming manual for ESP32-P4 came out this week.   If they were going to design a new EZB this chip is interesting.  50 GPIO ports 2 core RISC-5 400mhz. Also has a 40mhz single core CPU for low energy tasks. You could probably even run imbedded Linux and perhaps ARCx directly on board.  Has streaming video, AI, USB, Ethernet and 50 GPIO ports.

what it lacks is wifi so you have to pair it with another ESP, .They  should have development boards in limited release in April and production release Q3.

I know I'm a month late but you should continue releasing music. Many artists have to learn to not take negative comments seriously. It's very hard to do, but is possible. You helped revolutionize the robotics industry and made it more accessible. You can do the same for music. Many other robot manufacturers and companies in between have made their technology complicated and proprietary. With the companies you founded, it's much easier. My point is, the music that you make is amazing and you need to share it more without fearing what other people would think.
