Oh, i should add - I would recommend using ARC, even in beta. It's far more stable than ARC has ever been. It's faster, and it's actively being developed on.

new version, all good thanks again

@DJ, that sounds great to hear! I'll download ARC and re-edit the video to reflect the changes in software.

I have ARC ARC Beta 2020.02.19.00

Hey guys....my Patreon just went live. I am very close to launching the first video for the channel. It is going to be epic (I hope)

Come by and see the first post on Patreon

When do the episodes come out? Best to have 5-10 out before asking for money. That shouldn't be the first step. I am just referencing people like James Bruton and Gael from inmoov that produce the content, release the STL's and code base, then try to monetize a Patreon account.  I guess I am just saying it would be good to know what you will be producing and releasing to the public before I would want to commit money. I mean I probably will anyway just because I know you from this site and like your work. Just trying to put it into the context of what similar people are doing with their channels. What is the content besides videos you will be releasing? STL's for ALAN?

Its not an obligation..ever. I'm placing the link only here on Synthiam as someone here or in another thread had asked for it. I've not made this a public announcement on any of my social media platforms.

Patreon is not just a store front where people donate to receive. The very foundation of Patreon is to support a creator in all aspects of creating content. There are bills adding up for all kinds of production costs. Membership helps me create content and pay the bills as I am no long going to a paying job. Robot building is expensive and I have taken on the initial costs. Through Patreon, sponsors, Ads and Youtube memberships creators can afford to create. That is the only way. No one can afford to do this for free and not have a day job. Posting a link here now, will remain active for anyone in the future that visits this thread and would like to support or get more information.. ( I kinda feel like I am repeating what is already said at the opening of this thread, maybe you should revisit the paragraphs above in regards to what I'm creating/offering...under no obligations).

I just signed up for the $10 a month membership. I know I will not regret it. I know I will not miss the money. I know I will think it it's a unbelievable value in entertainment and knowledge.

This guy, Will Huff, is the real deal. If you are into robotics like me or want to learn, Will is the one to show you how. Admit it, if you weren't into robots you wouldn't be here. I've know Will for years and he has always been there for me, willing to help and advise as I learned and built my full sized B9 Robot form Lost in Space. He has never once asked for anything in return. He has become a good friend over the years and I know he's an honest, dedicated and hard working family man. On top of all that he's truly talented and knows his sh*t in more then most of us can imagine. This is the guy you want to learn from.
