Make an ARC Skill

Example Project Overview

The Example Project will add the references and configuration necessary to begin developing.

Running The Example Project Let us first take a moment to load the Example Project in ARC and see it in action.

  1. Shutdown any instances of ARC, as they aren't necessary during debugging.

  2. Load the Visual Studio solution file for your plugin.

  3. Press F5 in Visual Studio, or select Debug -> Start Debugging from the top menu

Notes Visual Studio is running as the debugger for the project. For experienced programmers, you can step through and debug the robot skill plugin in real-time.

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

I need to playback 5 Serial Bus servos in sequence.

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.
