Simple pure software implementation of the upcoming fischertechnik TXT-4.0 controller Video.
These scripts implement the online behaviour of the TXT-4.0 and can be run as a client against ROBO Pro Coding available e.g. for Android.
Optionally and for physical fischertechnik inputs and outputs a ftDuino is supported.
You'll need
- A device running RoboPro Coding
- tested with Android RoboPro Coding 6.0.4
- A linux PC running SofTXT (this project)
- Optionally connected via USB to a ftDuino running the IoServer sketch
On the Linux PC you'll need the following packages (e.g. install them using apt-get):
- python3
- python3-pyqt5
- python3-pyqt5.qtquick
- qml-module-qtquick-extras
To use SofTXT simply clone this repository and run
txt-4.0.py. This will start a web server that listens on port
8000 and provides the web API that ROBO Pro Coding expects to see. The
server will store downloaded programs in the local workspaces
directory and run the run.py script whenever an app is supposed
to run. run.py and all other files are needed to execute
downloaded programs.
In order to access the SoftXT from RoboPro Coding enter <your linux ip>:8000 as the IP address into the "Controller verbinden" dialog
of ROBO Pro Coding. Replace with the IP address of the
Linux PC running SofTXT displayed by txt-4.0.py as shown below:
$ ./txt-4.0.py
Starting TXT-4.0 server on http://10.11.13.34:8000
You can give anything for API-Schlüssel as this is not verified
by SofTXT.
