I have further determined that ARC hangs on specific actions. My earlier reported problem occurred when the initial supplied starter project ws started. The Wi-fi would disconnect and upon pressing Connect, ARC will hang. My previously saved projects work fine.

I misunderstood the function. I should download before I post. Thought it was a "Alan..." to activate Listening like "Alexa..." in amazons echo. Only occasionally I get the first word cut off in bing Recognition.

Thanks Justin for clearing this up for me. Makes perfect sense now. ;)

@brucesallen do you have a JD project open without connecting the RGB eyes to the EZ-B? You could be encountering I2C lock up.
