How To Set The Controller Board Number In An ARC Script?

Hi Athena, We have two robot head controller boards connected to ARC using two different Wi-Fi adapters. I am wondering how I can interact with a specific board from a Python script that I am writing using the "Script" option in ARC. Is there a way to specify a board index or something similar to target a particular board? Thanks in...

Volume Control For Sound Played On My PC

I am attempting to find the control to adjust the volume for sounds played on my PC using Synthiam ARC. This includes sounds played through the PlayAudio command or files played from the Soundboard (PC) feature. Some of my MP3 files are playing at a low volume, and I would like to increase it. Is there an obvious step or setting that I might be...

Removing A Beta Skill

I have developed several skills as part of my learning process to understand how to create skills in Synthiam ARC. Currently, all these skills are in beta status. I would like to know the procedure for deleting one of these beta skills to avoid confusion with outdated or unnecessary skills. Could someone guide me on how to delete a skill that is...

JD Humanoid Simulator

Hello, I would like to inquire if there is a simulator available for the JD Humanoid robot. I have been informed that the robot will arrive in approximately two months. However, our academic semester has already commenced, and we are eager to begin working with the robot as soon as possible to avoid any delays in our learning process. Thank you.

Sending Data Wirelessly To An ARC Python Script

Hi Athena, I am interested in transmitting data wirelessly using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), or Bluetooth from an Arduino device and/or an application on my Android phone. My goal is to have this data accessible within a Python script that I am executing through the scripting interface in Synthiam ARC. Is this functionality supported? If so,...

How is it possible to access the servo information associated with virtual servos in the firmware of an EZB created with an Arduino mega?

Controlling PTH Addressable RGB Leds

How can I control Plated Through-Hole (PTH) addressable RGB LEDs using the Script language in Synthiam ARC? The LEDs I plan to use are equipped with a WS2812 control IC, which is widely used for individually addressable RGB LEDs. Could you provide guidance on how to implement control for these LEDs within the ARC environment? For reference, here is...
