Robot Building Questions

Camera Missing

Hello, We are seeking the specifications or datasheet for a camera compatible with the EZ-InMoov robot head. It appears that the original camera is not available for purchase, and we are considering alternatives that meet the required specifications. Could you provide guidance on this matter? Thank you in advance for your assistance. Best regards,...

ARC Mobile Not Working

Hello, I noticed that there are two mobile applications available: ARC and ARC Remote UI. Are both of these apps currently supported? Additionally, do I need to configure any specific settings on my Android phone to ensure proper connectivity? I'm experiencing an issue where the app detects the robot after scanning, but it fails to establish a...

Wheel Encoder Skill

Hi Athena, I am experiencing difficulty loading the necessary library onto my Arduino Uno to ensure compatibility with the Wheel Encoder Counter Skill in Synthiam ARC. I have successfully loaded the "Servo.h" library, but I am unable to find the "SendOnlySoftwareSerial.h" library. Could you please guide me on where to locate the...

Stopping Bing Speech Recognition Wake Word Sound

In the Bing Speech Recognition skill within Synthiam ARC, how can I completely remove the wake word sound? Initially, I added a sound file in the option box to play when the wake word is detected, and it worked perfectly. However, I now prefer not to have any sound file play when the system recognizes the wake word. Instead, I have set up lights...

How To Download ARC

@Athena, I am experiencing an issue with the download page on Synthiam's website. Although it acknowledges that I have a subscription and thanks me for downloading, no file is actually being downloaded. Could you please provide guidance on how to successfully download the ARC software?

Is It Possible To Control The Two Types Of Feetech Servo At The Same Time?

I noticed there are two skills available for controlling Feetech servos. Is it possible to run both skills simultaneously over the same COM port to the same adapter board? I would like to have some virtual servos controlled by each skill. Could you provide guidance on how to achieve this setup using Synthiam ARC?

Different Method To Direct Connect A PC To An EZB?

Maybe this is a question for EZ Robot but I'll try here first. Last time I tried to contact EZ Robot with a question they did not get back to me.  This not a mission critical question I need to get answered but it's something that I have wondered about. I recently had a friend ask me this question when we were trying to troubleshoot an issue I was...

Recording With The Skill Kinect Body Control

, I have a question regarding the Kinect Body Control skill in Synthiam ARC. With the Auto Position skill, we can create frames and record them to form gestures like waving or bowing. Can we achieve similar functionality with the Kinect Body Control skill, specifically in terms of recording movements and saving them for later use? Additionally, the...

Where Do I Start?

Hello, I am a beginner with the Arduino Uno, and I am interested in connecting a simple Otto robot, which is based on the Arduino Uno, to Synthiam's ARC software. My goal is to control the robot, such as making it dance by moving the servos in various animations. Could you provide guidance on how to get started with this process?

Setting Up Raspberry Pi 5 EZB Server To Use Lidar And Servos

How can I use ARC to integrate an RPLidar and a Raspberry Pi 5 for controlling servos, similar to self-driving or collision detection applications? Should I install Windows on the Raspberry Pi and run ARC directly from there, or would it be better to use the EZBPi server to connect the Raspberry Pi to my Windows computer? My primary concern is the...

Python API

Hello, We are currently utilizing Synthiam's ARC software to manage the movements of our robot's head. I would like to know if it is possible to write a Python script within ARC to control the blink rate of the robot's eyelids. We have servos installed that are responsible for moving the eyelids. Thank you!
