ARC 2024.02.24.00 (Pro & Runtime)
Change Release Notes
We're excited to announce the latest update for ARC! Here's what's included:
Python Compiler Fix:
An important fix has been implemented for the Python compiler. Previously, there was an issue where specific Python code could lead to potential lockups and, in the worst cases, could cause ARC to freeze. This fix addresses that problem, ensuring smoother execution of Python scripts within ARC. We highly recommend all users update to this version as it includes significant stability improvements.
Blockly Renderer Update:
In addition to the Python compiler fix, we've also included a minor update to the Blockly renderer. Although it did not cause any errors, there was a leftover reference to a deprecated function. While this reference did not affect the functionality, we believe in maintaining clean and optimized code. Therefore, we've removed this reference to ensure better performance and code cleanliness.
How to Update:
Launch the ARC application and follow the prompts for updating to the latest version of ARC. If you haven't installed ARC yet, download it from our website and install the newest version.
Feedback:
We value your feedback! If you encounter any issues or have suggestions for further improvements, please don't hesitate to reply. Your input helps us make ARC better for everyone.
Thank You:
We want to thank all ARC users for your continued support and feedback. Your enthusiasm drives us to improve ARC and continually deliver the best experience possible.
Thank you for choosing ARC!

Upgrade to ARC Pro
Elevate your robot's capabilities to the next level with Synthiam ARC Pro, unlocking a world of possibilities in robot programming.
Thanks for the update. Hopefully with ARCx arriving soon people still using ARC Pro will continue to get support and updates when needed. I know Pro is a fine tuned animal but somehow you guys continue to find ways to squeeze more profection out of it.
Thanks!
