Upgrade to ARC Pro
Unleash your robot's full potential with the cutting-edge features and intuitive programming offered by Synthiam ARC Pro.
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.

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