Three strikes & I am out. My HP will not work with JD. My laptop does not have enough frames to run ARC & my Dell computer has Vista & will also not run ARC. Looks like it's time for a new computer. I am not looking for expensive, but what specs do I need to get on a new computer that will run ARC & no HP. Does anyone have any computer recommendations? Thanks.

From the software download page of ARC

Minimum Operating System Requirements Windows 7 minimum Intel Pentium or AMD 64 or 32 Bit 1 GHz CPU 2 GB RAM 50 MB Drive space

p.s. does your Vista system meet these requirements?

if yes then upgrade to win 7. If that is possible, let me know... I can help there. Jad

P.s. my tablet/laptop runs windows 8.1 with 2gb of memory that is what I used to set my ezb to client mode. And use ap mode for my garden-bot, since not all controls work on android yet.

Thanks J for your help so far! I'm sure I'm going to need your help in the near future! I looked at my Vista & there was too many popups happening plus downloading Windows 7 over Vista seemed like a real task so I went out & bought a Dell 3646. I hope this computer does the trick!

Is this it?

:D should do the job. j

Yes, that is it. For now I am just going to use the new computer for JD. Thanks.

Happy jd building!

I apologize if you see these questions somewhere else. I have started two new discussions today & I can't find them anywhere! I am going to try here. JD came with two extra long servo wires & two bundle wire wraps. I put the servo wires on the Gripper wires because they were too short. Where are these wires supposed to go & which wires are supposed to be wrapped with these bundle wraps? Last night I tried to get JD to stand for the first time. This was JD's first movement & WOW, he was actually moving. He didn't stand because one of the wires disconnected. Tonight I tried to get JD to stand & his feet ended up in the air. No wires came loose but one wire was keeping an arm from moving. I know DJ has said that he will show us how to keep the servos from disconnecting. I am looking forward to seeing this tutorial & to seeing how the wires go to keep from tangling up. My last thought is how you people post video's on this forum. I do not have a computer camera. I have an iPhone & want to download to my computer so I can put it in this forum. Any help on these matters would be greatly appreciated.

@michaelc.... The tutorials are already here... Tutorials I advise you to complete them before going any further with JD...

The extra servo wires are for JD's gripper servos... The wire wraps are to be used to tidy up Jd's wiring.....

If you have a youtube account you will be able to post videos here...
