The Android App can be installed on your Android Phone, Android Tablet, or Android Game Device. The ARC Mobile for Android Application will load ARC files that you created and save to the EZ-Cloud.

This is the beta release of the ARC Android Mobile App. There are a few known bugs, specifically with the EZ-B v3. As usual, we will continue updating the app and making it more awesome and reliable.

Awesome DJ. I'm looking forward playing with this. (Sorry if was being annoying with all of the recent solicitations;) )

[update] I've got it and although I've only looked at it and loaded my latest project (it's not really configured for either 3 or 4 yet). It loaded fine.

To add to Rich's list, Variable Watch is not available either. Not picking, just keeping track.

So how exactly do we really use this? We'll start with V3 because it's the one most of us have right now. Do we simply pair our phone to the ezb?

Thanks again EZ Crew. [/update]

We will post a quick video tutorial on how to use the App. Not all controls are supported - and some controls simply can't be supported. However, you will receive a message when you see one that isn't.

The video will be up soon that gives you a walk-though on how to create a specific robot app.

You're amazing DJ. I look forward to the video. Thanks.

Thanks for the nice words everyone:) We do have an iPhone app too - but it only works with EZ-B v4 because of WiFi. The iPhone cannot connect Bluetooth to the EZ-B v3 due to software limitations on the iPhone. The iPhone is locked down preventing the SPP protocol from being used... This is why the iPhone app is limited to EZ-B v4
