33 -** Included with the SES kit is the new FlowBotics Studio V2 (which itself includes the complete FlowStone programming language!). FlowBotics Studio is an easy to use graphical and text-based, Windows -compatible software for programming and controlling anything you build without the need to create lines of code. FlowBotics Studio interacts directly with the SSC-32 servo controller via Bluetooth (no need for the BotBoarduino), off-loading all of the higher level mathematics to the computer. There is also a visual representation of each of the five sample robots which you can manipulate on screen to make it easier to position the servos for each sequence. All the tools and tutorials are available to help you build upon these samples or create your own from scratch. Sample code is available for each of the five robots outlined below.More about FlowBotics Studio can be found here.
34 -* **Arduino**
35 -** The BotBoarduino is based on the Arduino Duemilanove microcontroller, which means it can be programmed in Arduino (one of the most popular and easy to use programming languages around)!. There is code available to control each of the five sample robots using the PS2 transmitter / receiver, and once you get used to programming in Arduino, you can explore the code further, and add to it, optimize it and share it with others. Robots which use only a small number of servos such as the BRAT, 2WD Rover and AL5D arm only need the BotBoarduino. Sample code is available in order to control each of the five robots below using the PS2 controller. Download Arduino here.

The SSC-32 can also be connected to another microcontroller via the Tx and Rx pins. The SSC-32 is not "programmable" as such - you simply send it position commands. The V1.1 does not include this part.

The SSC-32 can also be connected to another microcontroller via the Tx and Rx pins. The SSC-32 is not "programmable" as such - you simply send it position commands.

94 +The DFRobot Bluetooth module operates at 9600 baud (so be sure to change the jumpers on the SSC-32) and the default pairing code is 1234. The module uses the standard XBee format. Once the module has paired with the computer, the green LED located in the lower right side of the board will light up and stay solid.

96 +The Serial to XBee breakout board is only included with the V1.1 and allows the DFRobot Bluetooth module to be connected directly to the SSC-32 board. Note that the board needs to be powered by running a pair of standard wires from the underside of the board to the SSC-32's pins (as described in the user guides).
97 +The S.E.S. V1.2 does not include this part since the SSC-32U is already XBee compatible.
