Hallo,
Ich hoffe ich bin im richtigen Bereich.

Kann ich meinen Robo TX Controller mit einem Joystick steuern, ich habe gerade so etwas ähnlichens im Internet gefunden, in diesem Fall hat das irgenwie mit Java funktioniert. Ist es mir auch (ohne Programier Kentnisse) möglich meinen Controller über einen Joystick zu steuern ? wen ja wie ?

PS: Habe die SuFu und Google genutzt und nichts brauchbares gefunden

Do you want to connect the joystick directly to the TX?
When it's an analog joystick (one with two potentiometers, not a USB type) it should be possible. The old ones that you connect to a PC game port had 100k potmeters, this is too high for the TX resistance mode (0-5k), you could use it however with two extra resistors but then in voltage mode (0-10V).
If you want to use any joystick that is connected to the PC, it has to be solved in software. With the package for pc programming (ftMscLib) this is possible but not really simple.

sehr elegant geht das mit den ft-Joysticks hier: http://www.ftcommunity.de/categories.ph ... 909&page=1.
Mit den Tastern kannst Du entweder direkt Motoren Deines Modells ansteuern, oder sie an die Input-Ports des TX anschließen und dort auswerten.

With the TX-C In the online mode and with Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio is this very easy.
Not only the the normal gamecontrollers but also the XBOX360 controller, KINECT, WII controller devices and a lot more.

Hi,
Ich würde es gerne mit meinem Logitechjoystick( http://www.blockpack.com/pictures/origi ... Z0A7TL.jpg ) steuern und nicht mit einem ft joystick.

how does that work?

It's an analog joystick (one with two potentiometers. I use two extra resistors.

The logitech joystick is probably a USB device so you cannot connect it to the TX but only to the PC which in turn has to control the TX in online mode. In online mode you have a choice: 1) RoboPro, this is easy on the TX side but very, very difficult on the joystick side (basically because RoboPro only supports soft-buttons and soft-sliders as input devices);
2) ftMscLib or something similar, this is difficult on both the TX side and the joystick side but it becomes manageable if you know how to program in C. After that it mainly depends on the framework you choose (bare windows, .net, robotic studio). It all depends on what you're already familiar with. If you've never programmed (in C or Visual basic .net) then forget it and get yourself an analog joystick that you can connect directly to the TX and program it in RoboPro (online or download).

@Flodsche

If this is a standaard DirectX based control like other modern MS-Windows game device from Logitec then you can use in the VPL (Visual Programming Language) of MS Robotics Developer Studio de Game Controller service.
MS-RDS VPL look a little bit on ROBOPRo but is message oriented insted of workflow oriented visual programming.


I use this one to in one of my examples but with the Logitec RumblePad.

FIschertechnik is partner in the MS-RDS research project.
The service for the integration of the TX-C into the MS_RDS system and additonal examples can be found in the linkedIn group:

I will be present at the comming FT-Conention with some demo's

Hi,

I would like to steer the Kontroller not directly about the joystick, but already over the computer; speak

Joystick-> computer-> controller TX

I have knowledge in the programmation only a little.

Excuse for my translator in English

Hallo,

Beispiele in C# http://www.ftcommunity.de/ftComputingFi ... plorer.htm und VB.NET http://www.ftcommunity.de/ftComputingFi ... plorer.htm für ein einfaches Steuerprogramm für den ROBO Explorer mit einem Joystick sind auf den angegebenen seiten zu finden. Aber Achtung : Das Ding läuft nur mit der älterern Firmware des TX Controllers http://www.ftcommunity.de/ftComputingFi ... dllstx.htm

Hi Flodsche,
You English is Ok. I am able to read and understand German.
Programming in VPL (Visual Programming) for MS-RDS is at the same level as RoboPRo.
In fact, message flow is easier as work flow (RoborPro); it is on a more abstract level, closer to the robotic problem and more naturale.

And it is working with the recent firmware on the TX-C, RoboInterface, and the TL-C.
