Click image to enlargeWatch how beginners quickly become skilled programmers with Robo Pro. You simply design your logic-flowchart graphically and then you execute it. Your flowchart is your program!

This new graphic programmer's application for Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP (Linux in development, #93297) Replaces Lucky Logic as the robotics control software for the new generation of fischertechnik robotics systems, including the ROBO Interface and ROBO I/O Extension. The previous Intelligent Interface (#30402) can be controlled in Online mode. Easy for beginners to use, thanks to proven flowchart programming utility consisting of various software modules.

Data can be interchanged between software modules and subroutines using not only variables (as with Lucky Logic) but also with graphical connections. Program operation is easier to understand. Subroutines are stored in a library and and can now be used without having to understand the internal workings in the subroutine. Beginners will find it easy to grasp even complex programs.

Click image to enlargeThe graphic programming language ROBO Pro provides all the key elements of a modern programming language, such as arrays, functions, recursions, objects, asynchronous events and quasiparallel processing, making it a useful tool even for professional programmers. Programs are translated directly into machine language for efficient execution of even the most complex programs. Even advanced programmers will find that ROBO Pro knows no limits. With ROBO Pro, it's easy to write teach-in programs or exchange data with other Windows software.

In Online mode, it is possible to control multiple ROBO Pro interfaces in parallel - for large-scale models - and to make custom control panels which include switches, controllers and display elements. from 12 years. Retail Price Only $29.99 for Windows or Linux.

Lucky Logic/ LLWin 3.0

You simply design your logic-flowchart graphically and then you execute it. Your flowchart is your program!

LLWin is the universal solution to control the models contained in the fischertechnik robot kits - and of course for your own creations.

The new LLWin Version 3.0 graphical programming system for Windows features real-time processing, autorouting function, freely programmable automatic interconnection of modules placed directly below one another, the ability to copy subroutines to other projects, and the erasing and transferring of groups. Additional functions such as the use of simple formulae and boolean operations extend the programming possibilities still further. Models are driven via the tried and tested Intelligent Interface.

Beside the LLWin demo version we also offer updates, DOS software, drivers and documents for download. All of these are available free of charge within the Downloads section.

LLWin Tutorial

You can learn to program Fischertechnik robots in LLWin v3.0 quickly and easily, using the 100+ minutes of digital movies included in the LLWin v3.0 Tutorial. Turn on the computer, drop in the CD, and go. It's that easy. In no time at all, you will be designing complex programs in LLWin v3.0. Designed for educators by I Support Learning and usable by anyone that can read English.
