In the Bing Speech Recognition skill within Synthiam ARC, how can I completely remove the wake word sound?

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...

Python API

Hello, We are currently utilizing Synthiam's ARC software to manage the movements of our robot's head. I would like to know if it is possible to write a Python script within ARC to control the blink rate of the robot's eyelids. We have servos installed that are responsible for moving the eyelids. Thank you!
