Overview

This section has tutorials to help you configure the PC for ARC with a custom DIY robot. After following the Getting Started guide, it's a good idea to read each of these next steps. There's advice on configuring Windows for performance, storage, networking, and power.

• Windows Lite for ARC
  Get a Windows ISO with unnecessary apps and services removed for optimized use on SBCs.
  
  
• Multiple EZ-B over WiFi
  If you have a single PC wanting to connect to more than one Wi-Fi-enabled EZ-B, there are a few ways to do so.
  
  
• Two Network Interfaces
  Connect to the robot and internet at the same time. This allows you to use online services (i.e., cognitive services) while maintaining the connection to the robot.
  
  
• Windows 10 Storage & Performance Tips
  These tips will help you configure the PC to work faster. Very important for embedded PCs in the robot (i.e., Raspberry Pi, Rock Pi/x, LattePanda, etc.)
  
  
• Headless SBC (Single Board Computer)
  Configure the computer embedded in the robot for working without a display.
  
  
• Powering SBC (Single Board Computer)
  Suggested power method for embedded computers in the robot.
  
  
• Load project on Windows startup
  Configure Windows to load an ARC project when it starts.
  
  
• Initialize Servos
  Initialize servos into their position without drawing a lot of currents and causing EZB to reset
