| |
33.2 | 25 | |(% colspan="2" %)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>>doc:.getting-started-tutorial.WebHome]]. |

36.1 | 32 | |(% colspan="2" %)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>>doc:.phidgets-888-app-tutorial.WebHome]]. |

| |
36.1 | 46 | |(% colspan="2" %)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>>doc:.lynxmotion-ssc-32-protocol-tutorial.WebHome]] which is ASCII-based and a [[Dynamixel Protocol Tutorial>>doc:.dynamixel-protocol-tutorial.WebHome]] which is binary. |
