Hi, Thanks a lot for your compliments! Now some answers: A plan, especially for your gripper, would be interesting. I am especially interested in the construction of your grapple, looks very cleanly built from your model. The current one is at the left, I'm building a slightly more compact version a...

Hi all, Meanwhile, here is my version (for now): Traning robot.jpg I'm using a different approach. I'm trying to replicate the original as closely as possible but use only modern, easily available parts. The most obvious exceptions are the aluminium beams, but these can easily be replaced with stati...

Hi again, I was able to solve the issue using a completely different path. Karl was right after all: the procedure that worked was to downgrade ROBO Pro for Windows to version 4.6.6 and proceed from there. It's the way to go, all my controllers are updated to version 4.7.0 now. This completely avoid...

Hello "rubem", it only works to update to 4.7.0 via 4.6.6 First to 4.6.6, then to 4.7.0. That´s the „Magie“ . Hi Karl, Thank you, but I'm afraid this is not the issue. It seems my controllers are not even reading the SD card, albeit with different versions and for different reasons. In any case I'v...

Hi all, I have three TXT controllers, each one at a different version. #1's bootloader is already at version 4.7.0, so everything is good. Another (#2) is at version 4.1.5 and the other one (#3) is at version 4.4.4. I'm having some problems with those, though. Controller #2) I was able to display th...

Hi Holger,

Your guides are incredibly useful. But I can't understand the text. I wonder how hard it would be for you to create English versions so they could also each a broader audience.

Thanks!

Hi, Wow, great job. Congratulations! I admit I'm also building my own version...Thanks a lot to Simon for the great idea. --- Google Translate Wow, tolle Arbeit! Herzlichen Glückwunsch! Ich gebe zu, ich baue auch meine eigene Version... Vielen Dank an Simon für die tolle Idee. Best regards / Freundl...

Hi,

Here's a sample screenshot that will be used for the practical activities. It was assembled and rendered in TinkerCAD, and designed and finished in Figma Slides.

Hi XG BC, Thanks, I liked the result too. I'll start an introductory ft course for teachers and students during the next weeks (first time, let's see how it goes). In fact I'm preferring TinkerCAD now. It's far from perfect (as all others, including ft's own offering), but it's easy to learn and use...

Hi / Hallo, Just did this with MS 3D Builder (thanks, @XG_BC!). After selecting the relevant parts it was really simple. I didn't care much about precision, but the visual result is quite okay, I guess. I'm also experimenting with AutoDesk's TinkerCAD. ApplicationFrameHost_MvglBYExFj.png -----------...

What i did was download the free test version of the Fischertechnik designer, which contains the stl Files for many of the parts, though not all of them.

Thanks, that was very helpful!

Best regards,

Rubem

Hello, Some years ago I wanted to find a free stl library for ft but I remember the offer was very limited. I found just about a dozen parts. A quick Google search just now didn't give me much hope. Were you actually able to find any kind of general library with hundreds (thousands?) of parts? Thank...

Thanks, @Peter!!!

Best,

Hi everyone, I'm looking for the building instructions for the model below: model.jpg This one was found in YouTube: msedge_72uBFg3l8j.png I believe I copied it from the Adventskalender 2021, but I can't find it in the forum. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks, Rubem --------------------- Google T...

A great article about this very subject, and beautifully written. Thanks for sharing!

Sincerely,

Hello / Hallo, I got new ft parts, so I'm recreating some interesting models from old kits that I don't own. Among these is the Robo TX(T) Electropneumatic. I've successfully built a replica of the color sorter robot with a few changes. The main differences are the flexible silicone hoses which are ...

Hi Jan, I agree with your observations. Specifically In the UX area, which is where I work, the design aspects and the "thinking" you refer to frequently get lost in myriad obstacles like "full-stack" IT developers with little knowledge and/or poor sensibilities to user's needs, limited budgets, ins...
