Make an ARC Skill

Install Visual Studio

Visual Studio is a software development IDE from Microsoft. It was once a very expensive software package for professionals, and now it has been released open-source and free! The community edition can be downloaded for free and gives you the power to create .Net applications. In this step, we'll use ARC to detect an existing installation of Visual Studio and download the latest.

  1. Load ARC

  2. Press Project -> Create Skill

  3. The Create robot skill window will check for an existing installation of Visual Studio. If there is not one detected, a DOWNLOAD button will be presented.

  1. Press the Download link if presented, or get the Community Edition of Visual Studio by clicking here.

Dependency Ensure you have .Net 4.7.2 framework installed. If you keep up-to-date with Windows Updates and ARC runs without problems, then you must have .Net 4.7.2. Many programs are built with .Net 4.7.2 and therefore it's uncommon for a computer to not have it. So, if ARC works then you don't need to download and install .Net 4.7.2

None of the required references are in your list. Please follow the tutorial. It explains exactly how to click the browse button and navigate to the folder and select the files.

Sorry, but the reason I can't reference is because there is no file in the EZ_B folder and there is an error : this folder is empty , I am trying to solve it. I would like to thank DJ sure for answering my superfluous questions and I'm sorry for bothering you

What protocol is it? A "serial bus" is a generic term for anything using a UART that's chained together sharing the same RX line. Also, why did you add a photo with the question text added in your response?

Are you planning on making a skill control to do this? You wrote the question in the skill control thread in a comment - I'd like to make sure your question is in the right place to help you out.

To begin, I would recommend starting with servo Script control so you can make the serial bus protocol work - then consider making a skill control only if you're planning on distributing the effort to others: https://synthiam.com/Products/Controls/Scripting/Servo-Script-19068

He seems rather demanding as well.  I guess he needs the benefit of the doubt as English may not be his native language....

I have installed all the software dependencies and still ARC does not detect that I have Visual Studio installed. OS is Windows 10, .NET 4.8 or newer, Visual Studio Community 2019.
