| I am new to both the traxster robot & microsoft robotics. I Would greatly appreciate any help with regard to: - a simple explanation of creating of say a program to move the traxster forward for a specified distance and/or amount of time.
- a simple explanation of compiling (or what ever the term is) and downloading above program to the traxster robot.
- activating/running above program downloaded to the Traxster robot.
- NOTE: Will not be using any Bluetooth!
- Do I understand correctly that the "serializer" stuff for for Bluetooth control of the Traxster platform.
PS I am a fast learner! Fabian

Hello Fabian,
I think the answers you require will be different depending on
what hardware you have. Did you get the Traxster .NET Micro Framework
Robot Kit or just the Traxster kit with Serializer included?
If it is the latter how do you plan to communicate with the serializer?
A laptop with a serial cable connection with serial adapter , USB, XBee, Bluetooth?

If you plan to use MSRS, then you will first need to forget about our products, and spend time learning how MSRS works first...Once you're comfortable with MSRS, then getting it to work with our products should be very easy. MSRS has a much steeper learning curve that our Serializer .NET library, and I do not have time to tell you how it works in a post.  If you want to use our Serializer .NET Library, then there are A LOT of examples and user info on our website (especially under the Example Apps Page) to show you how to use it...You'll just have to spend time reading, working thru, and understanding them. Our Serializer Services have a sample drive application included which allows you to drive the Traxster/Stinger around over bluetooth. So, this drive application is the "orchestration' example we provide to show you how to use the Serializer Services. You can then go off and code your own orchestration service to do what you like. If you don't want to use Bluetooth, then you can just connect a USB or Serial cable to either a USB module, or an RS-232 module, and drive it that way. You can also use XBee modules as another wireless solution. We sell all of these modules on our website. Best Regards!

Don: I am not sure if I have the Traxster .NET Micro Framework
Robot Kit or just the Traxster kit with Serializer. I do know that the traxster is utilizing a 9 pin RS-232 for downloading. i will investigate this further.
If it is the latter how do you plan to communicate with the serializer? Do know enough to make a decision right now-What do you suggest and why? Inherited the Traxster as is will use a laptop with a serial cable connection with serial adapter- usb into laptop other end of radioshack adapter is 9 pin RS232.
