EZB-Compatible Robot Controllers & Microcontroller Boards for Synthiam ARC

Synthiam ARC works with many robot controllers and microcontroller boards using EZB firmware.

  • � Install EZB firmware to turn supported hardware into an ARC robot controller
  • � Control servos, motors, sensors, cameras, and AI vision
  • � Works with DIY robots, education kits, and custom builds

An EZB is any robot computer or microcontroller that connects to Synthiam ARC Robot Software.

Below is the current list of robot controllers and microcontroller boards compatible with Synthiam ARC using EZB firmware.
