Silence Detection For Bing Speech Recognition Skill

I thought I had requested this feature before, but I can't find any record of it. I would like the Bing Speech Recognition Skill to detect when a person stops talking and then stop recording. VAD is not that reliable and limiting the recording length is a clumsy way to stop the recording. For example if the recording limit is set to 7 secs and the...

Auto Position Robot Skill Guidance

I have a question related to the Auto Position Robot Skill in ARC. I need a refresher on creating various arm movements, one servo at a time. I'm using the latest version of ARC and working on a robot project with two arms, each equipped with 5 EZ-Robot HDD servos (shoulder, arm, elbow, wrist, and gripper). These servos are connected to an SSC-32...

IR Sensor Reading Optimization

Hello @Athena, I would appreciate your review of the following JavaScript code within the ARC environment. The script is designed to process infrared (IR) sensor readings, which can vary significantly due to sensor noise. My objective is to obtain a reliable result, finalLowIR, that only changes when the last three samples are consistent. The...

FT232RL To EZB UART Connection

Is it possible to connect an FT232RL USB-to-serial adapter to an EZB controller using the UART TX, RX, and GND pins, instead of connecting to the camera port with those same pins? I've attempted this setup without success. I assume there's a difference between the UART pins and the camera port pins. I'm utilizing the Connection Robot Skill in this...

Soundboard File Import Issue

I am having trouble importing sound files into the Soundboard Robot Skill in Synthiam ARC. It seems like the file names are missing the "." between the file name and the file extension. For example, "MySound.MP3" appears as "MySoundMP3," and I receive an error message indicating that it is not a valid file....

JD Robot Connection Issue

Hi all, I recently acquired a used JD robot and am experiencing difficulty connecting it to ARC through the EZ-Robot EZ-B v4. Each time I try to connect, the connection fails. Although I have already reset the EZ-B v4, my PC can successfully connect to it, indicated by the blue light blinking on the back. Interestingly, I am able to connect to and...

Organizing Ports In Servo Profile

Is there a way to organize the ports in the "Configure Servo Profile" section for better management? Additionally, can I configure the degrees for servos in a straight format instead of incrementing by 1, 2, 3, up to 90? Here is a short video explaining the issue: YouTube Video

Handling Script Errors In ARC

How can I handle errors in a script within ARC, especially errors like "Error in response received: The remote name could not be resolved: 'admin.synthiam.com'"? This issue occurs even though my robot's computer is connected to the internet. I am using the ChatGPT Robot Skill.

Arduino Loop Increment Issue Fix

@Athena, I am currently running the following code on an Arduino Mega to adjust a variable iteratively: cpp float psudoActCrs = 90.7550; float actualCourse = 92; while (true) { if (psudoActCrs actualCourse) { psudoActCrs -= 0.1; } Serial.print("psudoActCrs: "); Serial.println(psudoActCrs, 4); Serial.print("actualCourse: ");...

Roli Rover H-Bridge Button Issue

I chose the Roli Rover because my question is about the H-bridge in the Roli. I accidentally broke off the small button near the power connector. Is this still usable or repairable?
