Make an ARC Skill

Download ARC

ARC is the software which you will be creating your skill for. Your skill is a graphical library that runs within the ARC open framework. The open framework allows your skill to have the ability to use ARC's pre-built functions, rather than creating an entire program starting completely from scratch. This allows robot builders to install your skill from the technology store to add new features to their robot.

Download and install the latest version of ARC from here.

Is this out of date? There doesn't seem to be a GetConfiguration function within EZ_Builder.Config.Sub.PluginV1

Look at the tutorial step titled Code: Saving/Loading Configuration

The get and set configuration methods are overrides of the form. There’s a great video on the first step of this tutorial that demonstrates the step by step of building a plugin. I recommend watching that because it helps fill in any steps that were missed.

When you’ve done it once, it makes sense and voila, you can rinse and repeat:)

Excellent, thanks - I will do. I really must learn not to just jump ahead in the process:)

Trying to follow the tutorials but can't find where the plugin page has gone. How do I add a new plugin to the ez-robot / Synthiam site to get the XML?

Never mind. Just found the "Create skill control" link:)

I am trying to follow the instructions for adding my own plugin but I cannot seem to find the place to register the plugin based on the instructions.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

The new button to create a plugin skill control is less than an inch below the button you pressed to create this question. :)
