Hello Perses , ARC is not optimized for " compact editions" of the windows software. You will need to use a x86 or x64 version of windows to host ARC. You also have the option to compile and export a mobile version of your ARC app to a android phone or tablet. If you want a very portable option and still have the full functionality of EZ-Robot software you can use a windows 8 x86 tablet like dell venue 8 pro, Acer W3, or Acer W4.

that won't help me with its current setup, its running on top of an rc car.

what about the third party software like python or nodejs.

do those connect directly to ezb or do you still need ARC to run

There is an Android app that you can use to control the ezb....

You will need either ARC Windows or ARC Mobile to use the EZ-B. Depending on what you plan to do with the EZ-B will determine what you need to use. I.E. If you need a lot of video processing then you are looking at needing Windows 7 (Full not CE) or newer.

Python can be used but requires the open boxbot EZ-OpenBot and is not documented very much as it is very rarely used (in fact I only know of two people who have tried it and one of those is me).

All supported software is on the Software Page. If it isn't on there then it isn't supported.

Do you mean ezopenbot= boxbot, and can you elaborate more on your python experience . how have you used it with ezb, and the success rates, speed etc.

ive no problem jumping into code, typically i made .net applications for work but, it's not mobile enough.

Sorry, yes open bot (corrected my post). I believe python may also be possible using the SDK too (it's on the software page). I'm not sure of the details as I have no desire to use python unless absolutely necessary.

Thanks. I'm marking the question resolved as the following.

ARC Kit cannot run on Windows Compact framework.

I will try the sdk & linux option

@ Perses, why not use ARC mobile for a android phone? Do you mind sharing your project requirments? Realistic use?
