In their own words
ROBO Pro Coding
ROBO Pro Coding is a free programming environment for fischertechnik toys and schools. Learners can program graphically or with Python, and choose beginner, advanced or expert learning levels. The app provides example programs and supports the TXT 4.0 controller, as well as RX and BT Smart controllers according to its release notes. Programs can be kept locally or in the cloud, where they can be versioned and shared. An interface test helps users check actuators and sensors. The TXT 4.0 connects to computers and mobile devices through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and USB. Published documentation includes blocks for voice control and Cloud/MQTT communication. The manufacturer describes Python 3 support with TXT 4.0 and links to app documentation and downloads for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android. The older TXT controller is not supported by this app and uses ROBO Pro for Windows instead. The manufacturer also offers customer support for questions and problems.
