What are you interested in coding? Machine vision recognition? Camera vision streaming protocols? PWM servo commands? Speech recognition? Etc...

Why don't you narrow down your question of what "programming from scratch" means so we can get a better idea of what the question is.

The concept of this software is not "pre-packaged codes made for existing robots". Please click on the ROBOTS tab of this website to see the thousands of robots that are not pre-packaged or existing. People build modules (controls) that can be shared - since writing a vision algorithm could take someone an entire year, so it can be shared.

You can use the controls that others have made and mix them together with your own code.

Because I don't understand the question - if you can provide some information, maybe i can help

Hello DJ,

Regards what I am interested in coding.... the answer is all of the above. LOL  I am currently building an Inmoov and really liked the work of Bob Houston who uses a EZ Robot platform. To clarify my question.... I want to learn how to use the ARC program but so far the tutorials I found all say.... Choose which robot you have and download their files. I don't have a clue where to start if I don't have a specific robot in in mind to start with.  I will follow your advice regards the ROBOTS tab.  I so appreciate your response.

Best, Tim

Hello DJ,

As a follow up to my question.... when you say " [color=#442e5f][size=3][font=OpenSans, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"]You can use the controls that others have made and mix them together with your own code. " where do I find the controls other have created?  I see lots of robots created on the robots page but no links to codes they used.

Best,

Tim

Hi Tim, The way I do it is like this:

Open ARC. Click the Folder icon on the menu bar in the EZ Cloud App Store area. On the right sidebar make sure "Public" is checked. Under Tags I make sure everything is highlighted but you can play with them. Under User make sure "Everyone" is visible.  Browse through the projects to the left and choose the one you are interested in.

This will download and open that project. Look around and open controls to view coding or entries by clicking on the gear icon on that control. Cut and paste the code you like or use the merge tool to move an entire control or several controls into your own project.

Enjoy and have fun!

When it asks what robot you have, select the ezb because that’s a custom robot. You have the developer kit? That’s all you need

Follow the tutorials to learn how to use the software and make your own. Obviously we can’t have a tutorial for every single robot idea ever - because that would be absurd lol. Instead, the same functionality of the different robot types is demonstrated and you can learn from that.

Hi Timothy, Here is a link to my inmoov program. Load it in from the app store and you can poke around and see how I did things.

Oh, and to find the controls that you mix together - look at the manual for the ARC software. Click the software link at the top of this website and select MANUAL

You’ll find all software on computers will have a manual online - it’s a lot easier to keep the manual online because it changes so frequently. Daily even! Always adding new cool stuff

Great program Perry! Was looking for something just like that with so many Inmoov's out there ,this is the stuff that really helps when using Camera and A.I.

No problem and glad to help. You will find you will get the hang of it before too long.

Thanks all. I have had time to get back at it and things are starting to make sense.
