ARC Pro

Upgrade to ARC Pro

ARC Pro will give you immediate updates and new features needed to unleash your robot's potential!

#1  

Finally I can continue with my project:) Thanks man!

#2  

I can't install this version, the program said that "a new version of this program is already installed" stress

#3  

I don't have that problem. Always uninstall your old version, and reboot, before installing the new one, don't install over the existing one, that's called dirty install and sometime can cause problems.

#4  

This is the first time it happen to me, all the older versions installed just fine.

#5  

Same thing happened to me. I completely Uninstalled first, then it installed fine.

Thank you for the continuous updates @DJ

I am noticing strange little glitches that might be related to my main project file, is there a way to generate a list of settings and scripting from a project that can be printed, in order to make it easier to rebuild from scratch?

And I have discovered two issues in this latest release:

  1. In server/client mode, any servo release command on the client side actually sets the server connected servo to go to 100

  2. When loading any saved project onto a PC that has a different (smaller) screen resolution and lots of controls that fill the screen, there seems to be a forced auto arrange (even if that feature is turned off). Totally messes up any prior control panel arrangement. I have not seen this happen before and I am constantly cross-loading projects between all my computers.

Thanks,

Gunner
