Controller TXT-3329

[Paxall]

Hello All,

Is it possible to flash the device "Controller TXT-3329" so that it can connect to Robo pro code?

Unable to connect at this time, I'm using an apple, and according to my searches on the App Store, there is only Robo pro code for apple!

looking forward to replies, and thanking you in advance!

cheers

Paul

Hallo...
What is "TXT-3329" ?
The ft Controller are:
BT Smart Controller
TX Controller

Is 3329 the number in the Display?

There are 4 languages/App:
Robo Pro
Robo Pro Light

Robo Pro Smart
But no Robo pro code.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Isn't pretty obvious what he's asking for? He has an old TXT and wants to use it with Robo Pro Coding.

So the answer is: You seem to own the "old" TXT, not the current TXT 4.0. Between these two fischertechnik also switched from the PC based Windows-PC-only RoboPro software to the newer RoboPro Coding which is available for all major platforms incl. Apple.

So unfortunately your TXT is not compatible with the RoboPro Coding app for Apple.

Hello Paul,

since the old RoboPro is not natively supported on MacOS you would need some kind of Windows emulator to get it running on this hardware. I sometimes use Parallels with Windows10 on my Apple (Intel) Laptop.

A second option to program your TXT with an Apple device would be to use Python which is available by default in MacOS. You only would need to install the ftrobopy Python library, e.g. in a python virtual environment. From within a Terminal (Command line) type:

python3 -m venv ftrobopy
source ftrobopy/bin/activate
pip3 install ftrobopy

Then you can start an interactive python-shell by typing "python" adn then load the library with "import ftrobopy"

You will find some more detailed documentation and a ftrobopy manual at: https://github.com/ftrobopy/ftrobopy

cheers,

Torsten

Thank you guys for getting back to me, yes I was a little vague in my start of this thread, The controller is the TXT controller.

I like what Torsten as suggested, and I'm going to try this method.

Thanks guys

You have aTXT controller.
3329 is the unique identifier.
This number will change every firmware update.
You can use:
RoboPro v4.7.0
Download for the .msi (includs the firmware update):
https://github.com/fischertechnik/FT-TX ... tag/v4.7.0
Or C++/C (online or off line mode), MS-Visual Studio as (cross) compiler):
Examples:

https://github.com/fischertechnik/txt_demo_c_online

Or Python (slower)
