Arduino Mega Firmware

I downloaded the firmware for the Arduino Mega and unzipped it. I double clicked on the EZ- MEGA - V1 but it did not load into my Arduino IDE. It just asked what app I wanted to open it with. The file I downloaded was dated 10/11/2021. If you have any ideas about what I am doing wrong I would appreciate it?

Onboard Computer

I am thinking about putting a mini computer on my robot to run ARC software. I have been looking at the Minix Z8350-4. It is 64 bit and runs windows 10 pro software. It would connect with EZ4 just like a laptop. Has anyone done this before? Are there protential problem?

Hovis Eco Control

I am thinking of trying to hack a Hovis Eco and control it with an EZB4. The guestion I have is would it be possible to unplug the Ecos IR receiver from its CPUs port and plug in a cable from the EZB4 to take over the IR commands to the Eco. This would let the Eco controller handle servo control, LED control, sensors and movement control. The EZB4...

ARC On Windows 10

I just purchased a new windows 10 laptop. When I try to download Ez -Builder it loads but comes up with terms of use box. I go through the pages and check the accept box. It then does nothing and when I close the box ARC goes away and wont run. I do not think it is a scaling problems. Any help would be appreciated.

ARC

Not knowing the history of ARC, is there any chance that in the future there could be an OS10 version so one could use a MacBook Pro to run the software? The hardware of the MacBook , in my opinion, is vastly superior.
question

Screen Resolution

I just purchased a new dell XPS ultra book laptop with a native resolution of 3200x1800. After loading EZ software it did not present right. I went to tutorials and was instructed to move slider bar to smallest under resolution settings (dell had it set to highest). EZ software then presented correctly but the tool bar type was so small you could...
