Change Release Notes
Thanks to Microsoft and a buggy webservice in .Net4, we were able to find a solution by recommending an upgrade to .Net 4.5.. However, that wasn't a very good solution! So I decided that we go back to the original web service method.
- Contains the original web service from the old ARC (EZ-Cloud and EZ-Bits)
- EZ-Bit Library has a manager to delete EZ-Bits
- Updated EZ-Bit library with new Bits for JD and Six
*Note, it is recommended that you delete all of the items in your EZ-Bit Library after installing this upgrade. Then, you will be able to Sync and get the least EZ-Bits.
- Load ARC
- Press PROJECT from the top menu
- Press LIBRARY
- Select MANAGE tab
- Press REFRESH
- Press SELECT ALL
- Press DELETE
- Answer YES
Now all of your EZ-Bits will be deleted. This is good.
- Switch to DOWNLOAD tab
- Press SYNC
Now you will have the latest EZ-Bit library. Voila!

Upgrade to ARC Pro
Harnessing the power of ARC Pro, your robot can be more than just a simple automated machine.
I have custom EZ-Bits, not sure if that makes a difference? Although there is no path for 0 in the EZ-Bits folder, just 1 to 6 excluding 2
I have to fly out to the office in about 5 minutes, I'll check it out on XP when I get there (.net 4.0 framework there)
Edit: Ignore that, I think it may have been from cheating by copying the library across from my laptop.
Edit 2: Yes it was. Deleted the files manually from explorer (but left the folders 1, 3, 4, 5 & 6) and it's all better. I know some others did it this way too so they will need to do that.
COOL i LOVE it i can now DL the EZ-Bits
DJ you and your staff are GODS
XP and .net 4.0 downloads the library OK here too.
One note, the advanced/basic mode, when you check the boxes to tell it to display the control it actually hides the control from basic view, when unchecked it displays it. Unless I have read wrong that is backwards. No big deal but thought I should mention it.
Hi friends. the Revolution is a great step! I'm impressed by the amazing things DJ is putting in our hands! But I have a question... I was waiting for a sound servo control that could give me the choice of the signal imput (the sound board OR the mic, OR both..), to triguer my prototype´s mouth movement. That would be great for animatronics.. Is that possible now (and I am not finding how to do it..) or it´s not in the update horizon ? best regards..
anyone else get the following error when trying to sync Downloading library index... Error downloading from EZ-Cloud: Server was unable to process request. ---> Invalid username/password.
yes I did. re enter your info in Options/account settings.
Awesome thanks i just re-entered them and it started working again
Thanks for the tip weird that even though the account was there it did not work. Oh well
I had changed my password so I figured I had to update my info. Glad it worked
