Setting Up Raspberry Pi 5 EZB Server To Use Lidar And Servos

How can I use ARC to integrate an RPLidar and a Raspberry Pi 5 for controlling servos, similar to self-driving or collision detection applications?

Python API

Hello, We are currently utilizing Synthiam's ARC software to manage the movements of our robot's head. I would like to know if it is possible to write a Python script within ARC to control the blink rate of the robot's eyelids. We have servos installed that are responsible for moving the eyelids. Thank you!

Usb Webcam Only With Resolution 320 X 240 By Tracking Face

, I am testing a USB webcam connected to my PC. The face tracking feature only works with a resolution of 320 x 240. If I choose a higher resolution, such as 640 x 480 or above, it does not track faces. Is this normal behavior? Interestingly, object tracking works well at higher resolutions.
