Setting Up Raspberry Pi 5 EZB Server To Use Lidar And Servos

How can I use ARC to integrate an RPLidar and a Raspberry Pi 5 for controlling servos, similar to self-driving or collision detection applications? Should I install Windows on the Raspberry Pi and run ARC directly from there, or would it be better to use the EZBPi server to connect the Raspberry Pi to my Windows computer? My primary concern is the...
