Script Robot Skills
The Scripting category in Synthiam ARC empowers users to create custom scripts and behaviors for robots. It includes scripting languages and tools that allow users to define complex and customized robot actions, expanding the flexibility and capabilities of robotic systems. Here are the manuals for JavaScript, Python, EZ-Script, Blockly, and RoboScratch.
Nearly all robot skills can execute a script. However, there are robot skills specific to scripting. These scripting robot skills allow you to run programs or customize features, such as creating a custom movement panel.
EZ-Script Console
by Synthiam
Real-time EZ-Script console for ARC: enter and execute single-line commands, view output, clear display, and recall history with UP/DOWN.
Get Line Containing From Array
by Synthiam
Adds GetLineContainingFromArray() ez-script function to return the first array item that contains specified text, simplifying substring searches.
Requires ARC
v7
Movement Script
by Synthiam
Trigger direction-specific scripts when ARC movement panels change; assign scripts per direction/stop, access direction and speed (JS/Python/EZ).
Movement Script
by Synthiam Inc.
Runs scripts on robot direction changes for lights, sounds, logs and actions without driving the motors
On Variable Changed
by Synthiam
Run scripts automatically when specified ARC variables change; define variable-to-script pairs, monitor status, and trigger actions.
Requires ARC
v3
Personality Generator
by Synthiam
Background randomizer that executes timed scripts to add lifelike actions (movement, servos, camera/control) and unique personality to your robot
Python Native
by Synthiam Inc.
Run real CPython in ARC with full package support, camera access, ARC APIs, and bidirectional robot control.
Requires ARC
v3
Python Native
by Synthiam Inc.
Runs real CPython in ARCx with VS Code-style editor, pip packages, ARCx API access, and bidirectional ControlCommand integration
Recorder
by Synthiam
Record and replay EZB communications (servo & digital commands) with forward/reverse playback, save recordings and trigger them from scripts
Script
by Synthiam
Multi-language ARC Script: build, run and debug Blockly, JavaScript, EZ-Script or Python with Intellisense, run/save/load and Roboscratch support
Script
by Synthiam Inc.
Run JavaScript or Python scripts in ARCx to automate sequences, react to events, and control other skills via commands.
Script Collection
by Synthiam
Manage and execute multiple scripts in a single Script Manager using ControlCommand(), with Control Details showing available commands.
Script Collection
by Synthiam Inc.
Manage multiple independent scripts in one robot skill window with grouped controls, shared logs, and control commands.
Script Monitor
by Synthiam
Monitor and diagnose running ARC scripts: view active script labels, statuses, and stop long-running or background scripts easily.
Script Scheduler
by Synthiam Inc.
Flexible script scheduler for timed, solar, cron, and one-time runs with conditions, history, and parallel execution
Servo Script
by Synthiam
Bind scripts to servo moves (V1-V99); triggers on position/speed/accel changes and provides ports, positions and speeds arrays for custom control.
Requires ARC
v10
Sketch Pad
by Synthiam
Script-driven Sketch Pad for ARC: draw shapes, text, lines and faces via controlCommand() to visualize object locations, paths and robot data.
Slide Script
by Synthiam
Adjust a numeric variable via slider (0-1000) with customizable min/max, center button and scripts triggered on value change or bonus button press.
Smart Variable Watcher
by Synthiam
Efficient ARC Variable Watcher - lower CPU for large projects; slow initial array render but faster updates; shows name, type, value, length
Requires ARC
v4
Sound Script
by Synthiam
Replaced by Sound Script (Speech Script) robot skill; see Synthiam's Speech Script support page.
Task Script
by Synthiam Inc.
Split complex robot tasks into sequential scripts, synchronizing asynchronous skills via NEXT/CANCEL commands for staged automation.
Requires ARC
v8
User Defined Function Example
by Synthiam
Add custom EZ-Script functions in C# or JS; intercept unknown calls, parse parameters and return values via AdditionalFunctionEvent.
Requires ARC
v4
Variable State Saver
by Synthiam
Persist and auto-load specified global variables between ARC sessions for consistent, personalized robot behavior and quick state restoration.
Requires ARC
v7
Variable Watch
by Synthiam
Live view of script variables, types, sizes and values for debugging; auto-refresh, hex view, pause/clear; may affect program performance.
