Upgrade to ARC Pro
ARC Pro will give you immediate updates and new features needed to unleash your robot's potential!
That's a cool little robot. However looks like MIP's in Pre-order status also.
Good news on the script manual changes, I had noticed a lot of questions about "command doesn't exist" etc. lately so hopefully that'll solve that one
Thank you DJ for your updates...and yeah MIP is very cute! RGB Eye Module ? are you talking something similar to the BlinkM?
found the update.does this means maybe robome will also updated.
RGB Eye Module is the Eye LEDs for JD. Multiple LEDs which can be sequenced. I haven't really looked in to them and I don't know if much info is released about them but they are 9 RGB LEDs per eye which can run patterns etc.
They are shown on the JD videos doing some sequences.
Awesome! Thanks Rich
It's like a blinkm, but on steroids. It's like 18 blinkm's. And it's generally just awesomer because it's an eZrobot creation
This should be a simple question
I have installed this version of ARC and now get an "Invalid EZ-Robot OS Version" error message when trying to connect. I cannot find any instructions on how to upgrade the EZ-Robot OS on the web site. Can someone point me in the right direction?
