Change Release Notes
AutoPosition Movement Movement Panel Control now supports speed for directions (forward, left, right, reverse). The speed is a modifier for Delay and Steps. The modifier can be found in the frame list associated with an action. Edit the frame within a movement action and the modifier is viewable. The modifier values have question marks for assistance
JD and Six projects contain movement frames supporting speed (forward, left, right, reverse)
JD project has joystick in mobile interface which supports speed
Roboscratch ACTION block has "forever" option, which runs the action in the background
Roboscratch forward/left/right/reverse have speed values when Auto Position Movement Panel is used
Cheat Sheet displays CloseControl() with ShowControl() options
Mobile Interface Editor has a new object titled "Back Button". Which essentially is a CloseControl(). If a back button is added to a mobile UI, the automatic transparent back button is not displayed. I.E. adding this object to a mobile interface overrides the automatic back button
*note: If you receive an error during upgrade, uninstall ARC, reboot and install this update.

Upgrade to ARC Pro
Unleash your robot's full potential with the cutting-edge features and intuitive programming offered by Synthiam ARC Pro.
@DJ,
The install package is broken, no ARC.exe.
I had to rerun the install and tell it to repair. Everything worked after that.
I'm having the same problem... I get an app called EZ-B Emulator instead of the EZ-B Builder app
When I tried to repair, I got this error
@CochranRobotics Did you uninstall and re-install?
Regards, Frank
You may have to uninstall before installing. There's new files and a few changes to the application, so maybe the windows installer program isn't handling the changes well. That'll happen with Microsoft products sometimes
@DJ, The uninstall and then install work for me... Thanks
Just for interest, here is the Windows 10 version I'm running
Regards, Frank
