I provide technical support for factory 9V at two schools for higher eduction. In both cases there have been many problems after some operating hours due to increasing play in the mechanical construction. I was able to solve these problems by making the mechanical construction more robust. Currently...

You can also use a web socket in the localhost on the TXT4.0.
Node Red can deal with web sockets too.
The integration of a web socket into RoboPro coding Blockly, see: http://tescaweb.nl/Carel/?p=713

Thanks. However no essential changes, the firmware is still 3.1.0 (since oct 2021). MQTT in the Blockely is still not able to work with a MQTT broker in a local net work. A good remote Python development environment such as MS-Visual Studio code (but put the corresponding files on an SD card) does n...

RoboPro Coding has a new version on Windows, 6.0.12.
But where is the "change" description?

Suggestion:
Windows 10 still supports a parallel interface (8 bits):

parallel interface: 1.5Mbytes/sec:

@robonotpro
That is the case.
I case of more questions, contact me bij PM, that is easier to reply.
With some small change, it is also possible to run the Factory 4.0 inside a local network only and with a local NodeRed dashboard on a laptop.

All 4 clients are using a different executable. See the project properties for the TxtFactoryCLient. It is a conditional compilation based on the Symbool in "project settings|C/C++ build|Tool Settings|CroosGCC compiler|Preprocessor|Defined Symbols (-D)". Only one of the four symbols CLIENT_MPO, CLIE...

a) Conditional compiler directives are used. (see for example: https://cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/preprocessor/) These are basic software engineering components. They are also used in other languages. b) In the C++ code frequent use is made of the so-called "design patterns". (see for example: https...

a) factory 9v only with RoboPro. does not work with the C++ software for the factory4.0 9v. However the RoboPro software is much easier to change by students as the C++ 4.0 software. The TXT configuration is a little bit different. b) factory 4.0 9v That is very simple, you need to compile the TxtFa...

That's what factory 4.0 9v (TXTs, C++, https://github.com/fischertechnik/txt_training_factory ) does. The synchronization between the different stations is done asynchronously with MQTT message. And that's the concept behind Industry 4.0. The C++ software is well structured and object oriented and m...

TXT and TXT4.0 are two different controllers. It seems that the TXTCamdroid is made for contact with the TXT and there is no version that supports the TXT4.0. For the TXT4.0 video images can be shown via "RoboPro Coding". ============================================================= TXT und TXT4.0 s...

In support of Sven's comment about a 5 year old and "early coding". As long as a child is not yet able to discover, reason and describe the underlying problem in its natural language, it is also not yet able to devise and formulate a possible solution route. Not to mention that at that moment a chil...

With regard to keeping the I2C/SLI connection alive: What might help keep the I2C/SLI alive is a 4 sec read to a fictitious I2C address. The I2C is implemented as an SLI extension and that problem of termination after 5 sec is common. This can also be done with a simple SLI function but an I2C read ...

Very nice figures.

It would be nice for various TX-C owners if an alternative OS and processing for the M, I, C and camera would become available. The solid failure of the 4NetOS project without an alternative becoming available has been a sad end to the TX-C era. At first, that project looked promising, but it ended ...

Probably this board has been use as base for the TX-C.

The main problem is that the OS on the TX-C has no source code and no documentation available.
The OS is owned by a company that was bought out and that halfway through the development it stopped supporting it and the people involved in this project have left.

You can send me the .rpp fill by e-mail, maybe I can help you in detail.
