Take a look at the Helios

You won't need to do much "programming", more "configuring" and there are plenty of guides out there for doing so. I personally can't help much with SCARA since I haven't used them before. The helios uses smoothieware I believe so you can look at that for a starting point.

Is this a good board
For scara arm

I suggest you ask at [forums.reprap.org].

The MKS Robin board that you linked to is closed source, so you may have difficulty getting firmware support for it.

That's an 8-bit board, and although the are SCARA printers using 8-bit electronics, SCARA printers benefit from 32-bit electronics even more than deltas because of all the trig calculations. But a lot depends on having good firmware support for your chosen electronics, because SCARA printers are rare so SCARA support in firmwares tends to be less well developed. You might want to ask for advice on the SCARA section of this forum.

I blogged about my experience of upgrading a cheap SCARA printer from 8-bit to the 32-bit electronics that I am involved with at [miscsolutions.wordpress.com].
