ARC (Windows)

Hello All;

Don here, (Dlanod375) -

In the ARC software under the design tab, how do you bring in or create your own files, say for a B9 robot or a R2D2 droid. What type of files are needed, Thanks in advance !

Hi again Don,

You say your not printing anything in 3D. When you say files, do you mean control scripts or controls that will make the sensors, motors and voice work that will be attached to your EZB?

If this is the case you can open example projects from EZ Cloud that will show you how everything works together. My unfinished B9 project is there also and should be of interest to you.

To add your own controls click on the project tab at the top of ARC and then the Add tab. There you will find all the controls you can use that you will then need to adjust and add to that will make your motors and everything else work like you need.

Hello All;

Wow - where did 4 months go. I feel like a bear in the winter. Just a quick up date, B9 arm pulley system - fail, working on modified electric car antenna mech. and drawer slide as next attempt.

I have the front doors of the R2 functioning on servos, just testing them for fit.

I ordered a Printrbot 3D printer, should receive it mid Jan,15. Prints in PLA, but found a modification video to heat the bed so I should be able to print in ABS also.

We'll see how that goes.

Happy New Year,

Don

Hey hows it going?! I am also building an Astromech (R7). I have been printing most everything for my droid with a printrbot in PLA:) They're great little printers once you get them going.

Your frame is looking great! Are you using an Ikea lampshade for the dome?

Hi Aaron;

Yes, can't beat the cost of the lamp shade. Good to hear about your printrbot. That was my main reason for getting the printer, Droid parts.

I re-did the main torso frame, much more support for the shell.
