Upgrade to ARC Pro

Awesome! Thanks for the ADC tweak.
Pour vous bro!
the download page is still saying that its ARC Version 2013.06.11.00 and after installing when started it says that 06.11 is the new one and asks to dl that one confused
That was a fast fix
Is there a way to turn off auto arrange on project open?
Edit: Found it
Top of the open project dialogue.
Thanks for the ADC commands! I need to study how this will work. Not really sure right now. However once I figure it out it looks like this may make my scripts much simpler. . Cant wait to try them out (if I ever get some free time).
Another awesome version update incorporating a wide variety of functions! Thanks DJ!.....ADC is a big part of the EZ-B and adding the polling interval will allow better management of the processing time share
..I believe!
Thank you DJ, Maybe this update was more efficient? My personality generators (13) that included timing are not working like they did b4 the update. I will try to adjust? I know, appreciate, and understand how much you advance us on every update. Thank You again. Is there any way I can lock in a specific project to a specific version of EZB? Steve S
Steve, thanks! There are no changes to the timing or personality generators. Only the list above has been affected.
As for your question regarding locking a project to an EZB... Can you be more specific? I do not understand the question
Great to see more changes DJ i see you been very busy making a lot of great updates.
Thank you DJ 4 responding, I look forward and appreciate all of the new advacements of new EZB versions. We make such great strides with every new release. My question, would there be a way to save specific old robot projects, to a version of EZB prior to Release 2013.06.15.00 ? My old project would operate without modifications with the old version of EZB and I could advance my robot with new releases and modifications. I understand I would have to have muliple versions of ARC on my PC. The Bottom line is, I am delighted to have found EZ Robot, purchased such a great product, and built such an amazing new robot with my 2 EZ Robot kits. It is just an idea. Thank You, Steve S
Thanks for the kind words steve
The newer versions of the ARC software will not change your older project files. Also, a newer ARC project will work with older ARC also.
What kind of project modifications are you finding that need to be done when you upgrade?
