Change Release Notes

This is the first release of the ARC Designer software for Raspberry Pi, and more specifically, MONO. I'll create a more detailed tutorial on how to setup and run the ARC on Raspberry Pi. In the meantime, it can be downloaded and executed with mono...

User-inserted image

  1. You have to install the Mono framework, which is pretty easy...

sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install mono-runtime

  1. Next, untar and extract the download...

tar xvfz ~/ARC_Pi.tar.gz

  1. Change into the directory of ARC...

cd ~/ARC Pi

  1. Execute the application with...

mono ./ARC.exe

*Note: there are a number of feature limitations on the Rasberry Pi version Vs. Microsoft Windows. These limitations are no Blockly, no WiiMote, no Speech Recognition/Synthesis, and no 3d robot designer. Plugins are supported long as they do not use unsupported libraries. These are features out of our control, however.
