Clean up EZB communication manager for improved EZB communication performance
Can you please explain exactly what this is or does?  Thank in advance.

An EZB is a microcontroller that connects to ARC. That's the thing you use for connecting servos to your robot. ARC has a communication manager that communicates with the EZB. Communication allows sending commands and receiving data. Some work was done to improve the ARC communication performance to the EZB.

Here's a diagram from the support section that shows how ARC works (this page: https://synthiam.com/Support/ARC-Overview/how-arc-works)

I don't know what has happened at Synthiam lately but you guys have really stepped things up. I didn't think that was possible considering the outstanding first line customer support DJ and the team has always given.

How about a Who's who page on this site so we can get to know the people behind the curtain?
