Hi Music

"Big Brother" is the "Grown Up" or more mature version of the Robo Pro Lite Software.

Hi Thomas, This all looks very interesting, but I am going away for a few days and will not have access to my TX, however I will have a look as soon as I can on my return. If in the meantime anyone has other ideas then please post. -- Mook P.S. I do not think an Independent Scotland is going to happ...

Hello, The translation on this page is not very good but I get the basics of the message so I thought I would do a quick test. I am running a virtual Windows 7 x64 on VMware ESXi 5.0.0 U2 and I too get the "Timeout" message as the software tries to open the COMM port. The Robo TX is physically attac...

Hello André, On returning to the URL and clicking the proceed button, I now get an instant response and the main index page is displayed. It may simply have been that the network, server or even the Internet were really busy at the time I tried. But for now it works as expected in my current version...

Hi, For what it's worth I am using Chromium Version 30.0.1599.114 (229842) on Arch Linux 3.11.6-1 x64 when I first land on the URL I get told that the browser does not recognise the certificate (fair enough). I then tell the browser to "Proceed" but it appears that nothing is happening, it seems to ...

OK Stefan,

It was the caption text I was wanting in English so I'll see what I can do with regard to my own translation. I'll post back if I make good progress.

Hi steffalk,

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping to get the CSV files in English.

Hello again, I have downloaded the zip file and of course was not surprised to find the majority of the content in German. Considering that ft has been around since the 60s and you have a language table I have to ask if this is available in English. Of course I could always do the translation myself...

Hello,

I may be reading this wrong due to the bad Google translation but from what I do read there appears to be available a complete list of ft parts in a CSV file? If this is the case then I would appreciate a copy of this file, can I download it from anywhere?

First my apologies if this has been asked before and I hope also that this is the correct forum for this question, but where is the best place to buy individual ft parts, I have a list of parts that I need. I don't mind buying from within the EU but of course I would prefer to buy within the UK if I...

Hello steffalk,

I have just seen your reply and that is exactly what I was thinking.

OK, I think I've worked it out. I got a big box of bits today and in it is a Schneckenmutter. This mounted at the rear of my rectangle will allow me to drive the block forward and back.

Hello steffalk, In the original post I made an error, the distance to travel should in fact be 90mm, and I have since corrected the post. A chain is not an option as there is no tension on the block, the only way to drive it I think would be either by worm or track and this is where I get confused. ...

Hello, I am about to embark on my very first project using ft. So without wanting to give to much away I would be grateful if you could give me your thoughts on how I could do the following. I want to use an XM Motor to push and pull a rectangular block across the surface of a base plate for a dista...

Thanks for that veto72. Having looked it up I realised it was a legacy product and have arranged a return and refund.

Hello all,

I have just bought one of these thinking that it would plug into my TX unit but this is not the case as I am 4 pins short. Can I ask how old this product is?

I know I should have paid more attention to what I was buying but I guess as a newbie I got over excited!

Hi Sweany,

I have just installed Chromium 30.0.1599 and to my surprise it actually works well enough to get the basics from a posting.

Thanks for that.

Hello,

I used google translate to read your message and I was wondering if you had solved your problem? What is your program written in?

Hello Ulrich, Yes, the lamp does appear to have lens on it. It has a grey body with the other lamps I have having a white body. I moved the lamp closer to the PT and it now works as expected. So that's that one solved. For future reference how would I test it with the "Interface Test" option? I thou...

Hi Guys, Thank you for replying so soon. vleeuwen: The input mode is preset at D5K for this input and can't be modified. The polarity is set with the red wire on the red mark on the PT and connected to the right input of I1 (next to the I1 legend) When I select the "Test Interface" option if I click...
