Is ARC Manual Available For Download?

Hey Folks, I'm just getting started with my EZ build and would like the convenience of some extra screen real-estate by viewing the manual on my Android Nexus 7. I hope this is the right forum area for this question. Most appreciated if someone can direct me to a download or the proper forum thread.

Yes and no. There is a manual but it only really gives technical info. Tutorials and info on controls are all on this site under tutorials. This forum offers a lot of help and there is usually someone lurking waiting to help (usually me, I seem to live on here lately).

Things change so often and so quickly a manual would be out of date within a couple of weeks. Use the tutorials, forum and, well, common sense really and you'll do fine. ARC really is EZ.

Thanks All for responding to my request for an offline manual. Yes I've seen the continual work DJ has been doing to enhance ARC. Just thought it would be helpful to have the documentation offline on my Nexus 7.

Just learning to navigate forums as well so I thought having an offline manual available would facilitate me scouring the documentation before I asked for help on the forum that was readily available in the manual.

At last plug-in to power up my EZ Board, nothing happened. No LED's lit up- nothing. I was a bit distracted at the time but believe it happened in conjunction with an upgrade of the ARC software. Suspect an upgrade in the boards firmware may have been part of the software upgrade.

Will try to sort it out myself before asking for help, BUT, if anyone wants to chime in with their insight of the platform with a solution to unbrick my EZ B board,

Please Do. smoketester

  1. Check your power supply is working correctly.
  2. Check the fuse on the EZB (between the 2 regulators)
  3. Follow the diagnostics tutorial

You should at least have the blue LED fashing and red LED on the bluetooth module flashing when first powered up.

Step one, verify your power source is providing at least 5 vdc to the EZ-B.
