About ftrobopy release 1.92

[vleeuwen]

Is there also documentation about python ftrobopy release 1.92 ?
release 1.92 is part of TXT firmware 4.7.0_pre-release and 4.8.0_pre-release
On https://github.com/ftrobopy/ftrobopy/releases there is only release 1.80 (2016) available.

Did you ask fischertechnik? If it's part of their official firmware they probably have some official documentation somewhere.

@MasterOfGizmo
As you can see it is a more general question.

I suppose one can track packaged ftrobopy version directly in the FT-TXT/package/python-ftrobopy/python-ftrobopy.mk. For v4.8.0 (eb3157b) it contains:

Code: Alles auswählen

PYTHON_FTROBOPY_VERSION = edc44bf00f

I don't understand that statement. That was indeed a quite specific question.

Actually the type of question has nothing to do with the fact that ft probably (hopefully) has some documentation for the software they are distributing. This my rather general advise to ask them first.

@MasterOfGizmo
I don't see any reason to ask questions about third party software package, available on the TXT, only to fischertechnik.
Normally the package provider takes care of the documentation and not fischertechnik.
All discussion in the past about the FtRoboPy packages were also in this section.
For example C/C++ (Linaro/GNU package), Mosquitto MQTT package, CivetWeb package, etc. related question I put also here.

There do not seem to be ftrobopy releases per se since 2016 (at least, nothing marked as "release" on Github). The ftrobopy version 1.92 corresponds to this commit: https://github.com/ftrobopy/ftrobopy/co ... 1457dc8318.

Hi,

The latest ftrobopy version is 1.94 (found in the master branch on github.com/ftrobopy/ftrobopy)
This version supports the so called TransferArea Mode when used with the original fischertechnik firmware.
This mode needs an extra library called ftTA2py.so to connect ftrobopy directly to the TxtMainControl Process that is always running on the TXT and is also used by ROBOPro. See the example "TAModeMotorExample.py" in the examples directory on github in order to see how the TA Mode can be activated.

The TA Mode is much faster than the "direct"-Mode or the socket based mode.

Best wishes,
Torsten

Nice piece of work Torsten.
