Has anyone tried running ARC on a HSD8001 Tablet/PC? It is a nice size for mounting on a robot.

ARC (formerly known as ARC) is designed to run on Windows-based systems, and it looks like the HSD8001 Tablet/PC you're referring to runs Windows 10, which should be compatible with ARC. The key factors to consider when running ARC on any device are the system requirements:
Given that the HSD8001 Tablet/PC has Windows 10, an Intel Atom Z8300 Quad-Core processor, and at least 4GB of RAM with 64GB of storage, it should be capable of running ARC. However, you'll want to ensure that the tablet's specifications meet the demands of your specific project, especially if you plan to use resource-intensive features or connect to multiple devices simultaneously.
If you haven't already, you can download ARC from the Synthiam website to get started with your robot project: https://synthiam.com/Software/Manual/ARC-Overview-16076
Remember to check the device's connectivity options to ensure you can establish a reliable connection between the tablet and the EZ-B v4 controller. The EZ-B v4 connects over Wi-Fi, so your tablet will need to be able to connect to the same network or directly to the EZ-B v4's Wi-Fi server.

Z8300 (Cherry Trail) CPU is really slow but it should run ARC if you have nothing else running.
There are a bunch of windows optimization tools available that strip windows down to bare minimum and disable everything. ARC created one for RockPI x that works ok despite the slow z8300 CPU (although I think rock pi is z8350 @ 1.44Ghz versus 1.2Ghz).
