In this 6th installment of DJ's Live Hack Events, we'll be installing ARC on a Raspberry Pi, install plugins and control a robot. There's a conversation regarding NeoPixels and how to drive them from EZ-Builder. I'll connect a NeoPixel to an Arduino and control it via EZ-Builder.

The short answer is we were forced to rely on Windows.

We had several issues supporting raspberry pi - specifically with the lack of agnostic hardware support. For example, different USB cameras required much user effort and drivers. Also, the robot skills created by our partners would not all be compatible due to the differences between Windows and Linux. Lastly, we found that users would require a lot of Linux-specific support to use the operating system, draining our customer support.

We do have a great tutorial that explains how to get Windows running light-weight: https://synthiam.com/Support/Tips-to-Make-a-Robot/free-space-with-windows-10

Is there a certain download for raspberry pi ARC because when I download it on windows on raspberry pi the camera fps go to 30

30 FPS for a camera is quite average if it is a USB camera. Can you explain in more detail the trouble that you are experiencing?
