I’m building Spot Micro Next. The base design uses a Arduino Mega. I’d like to use ARC to program the robot. Has anyone worked out how to wirelessly interface to an arduino with ARC?

Oh and a rock pi/x doesn't require addition storage like an ssd or anything. They're just more convenient to use. I have a number of them i use for my robots: https://synthiam.com/Support/Hardware/Rock-Pi-X
DJ, what about using a iotiny plus a IIC connected either to an arduino mega or PCA9685 to control the 5v servos. I can add a single voltage regulator for the 8 servos. This way I could use the servo tools in ARC to automate the legs. How would I map the servos?
Yet another option.. I found this thread in an arduino Bluetooth communicton scheme to ARC.
#33 Feb 2019 Any for that board will work. They just create a virtual COM port in Windows, which you select in ARC.
could I just use a Bluetooth module on the mega work and connect the it ASAP serial port to the pc? Load the ARC mega firmware to the board and massage in the Bluetooth code?
