Upgrade to ARC Pro
Your robot can be more than a simple automated machine with the power of ARC Pro!
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?
