Getting Started
FlowBotics Studio is a software development platform to create stand-alone executable programs ("apps") for your robots (running on Windows OS). Apps are primarily made using the FlowBotics graphical programming language, but can also include some blocks of Ruby textual code. If you haven't yet starting making projects in FlowBotics, we recommend starting with this tutorial.

Modifying a Project from the App Store
If you want to learn FlowBotics Studio by first modifying an existing app, the Phidgets series of apps were designed to be make this very easy. We've made a great tutorial on how to make changes to the Phidget 8/8/8 App.

Implementing Serial Protocol
Many hardware devices communicate with the computer using a serial protocol. Some are simple ASCII-based protocols, but others can be more complex binary ones that require checksums. No matter, both can easily be made in FlowBotics. Here's a Lynxmotion SSC-32 Protocol Tutorial which is ASCII-based and a Dynamixel Protocol Tutorial which is binary.

Making an App from Scratch
Starting with FlowBotics Studio version 3.0.7, everyone can now generate their own FlowBotics App. These apps are standalone Windows programs (EXEs) that have an integrated activation system which make them ready to sell in the RobotShop App Store. Here's how to convert your project into an app.
