DSSERVO 3225 Servo Compatibility Inquiry

Hi @Athena, I am curious about the compatibility of a 25 kg DSSERVO 3225 digital servo, which operates at 4.8 to 6.8 volts DC, with my EZBv4. Additionally, I'm considering placing a 10F capacitor between the positive and negative wires. Would this assist or interfere with the servo's operation when using the EZBv4? Thank you, Jack

ARC Event Notification Capabilities

Does ARC have the capability to notify me when a specific event occurs, such as sending a text message, an email through Gmail, or a Facebook Messenger notification? For instance, I currently have a script in ARC that runs in a loop every 30 seconds to check its connection to the EZ-Robot EZ-B controllers. It would be beneficial if ARC could notify...
