Upgrade to ARC Pro
Unleash your robot's full potential with the cutting-edge features and intuitive programming offered by Synthiam ARC Pro.
I dont know a lot about this yet but it looks like there are also converters that will allow you to go through your computers USB port:
USB Adaptors
Yeah I saw those. A lot of cool options with this version update!
Can you use Bluetooth... you PC probably has it built in? The other device will obviously have to have it too....
Yeah the device does not. I operated it in the past with a USB to serial cable .
The install screen is all fancy! <Iggy Azalea> "It's sooo fancy, you already know, you're in the fast lane, from the splash screen to the final installation-e-o"
Can anyone give an exemple on how can we control other devices (let's say, a Bluetooth speaker, or so...) using This feature? I'm lost here... ??
@tevans Bluetooth speakers are driven by windows... when active they just bypass your laptop or pc speakers so the sound/music comes out the Bluetooth speakers instead...
The new com port commands have nothing to do with that. What they do is allow you to control/read serial devices attached to your PC via one of your pc's com port...like a gps, sending and receiving data from an arduino, controlling a servo board like the lynmotion ssc-32.... Practically any device that uses a serial port attached to your pc... Remember it has to be a serial device. Bluetooth speakers do not use a serial interface....
I mentioned Bluetooth because some serial devices like the Lynxmotion SSC-32 servo board can be connected to your PC via Bluetooth (Bluetooth X-bee module). Using the new com serial commands you can control the servos attached to this board over Bluetooth via ARC. ARC would be controlling the servos directly without the ezb....
Ah! I get it. That's cool.. But of course, would make no sense using the ARC withouth the ez-b... Why complicate, if things are going simple.. LOL?
