Hello,

thank you for calling attention to this FAQ entry.

Unfortunately this information is not correct. We will change the FAQ as soon as possible.

The library for the PC programming of the ROBO TX Controller needs a Microsoft Windows operating system. The saples which are included in the software package have been created by using Microsoft tools like Microsoft Visual C++ or Microsoft Visual Studio.

Furthermor we expect that various problems will occur if you use the PC Programming package to create a Java programm for the ROBO TX Controller. Thus we don't recommend to use this software package for the creation of Java programms for the ROBO TX Controller.

Kind regards

In addition to Janosch.
Java knows a JNI (Java Native Interface) to close the gap between the Java virtual machine and the onderlaying real machine.
But this is time consuming. In fact Java is not created for this kind of interfacing.

At the otherhand, .NET perform as preparation on the program execution a compilation of the assembly code (CLI) to the underlaying machinecode. The code is addapting to the actual hardware situation.
This makes .NET powerful and faster as Java for hardware interfacing.

The library for the PC programming of the ROBO TX Controller needs a Microsoft Windows operating system.
