Hello,
Would you be running the C# on the PC and using this to send commands down a communications bus (USB / Bluetooth) to the buggy? Or are you wanting your C# code to run on the buggy itself?

is that possible? or it is compulsory to use flowcode?

Hello,
You will need firmware on the buggy to receive the radio signals. This will be written in Flowcode or another embedded language such as C.
The PC side of things can then be written in any language you desire as long as you know how to control the radio via it. We have examples of using VB or Pascal to control embedded devices over USB available as part of our examples download.

Hello,
You essentially need two programs. One running on your PC to send out the RF commands. This could be written in C# or the programming language of your selection. As I say we have examples that show how you would use VB.
The second program is the one running on the formula flowcode that receives the RF signals and interprets them. This will need to be written using an embedded compiler such as Flowcode or BoostC etc.
The examples are available to download from here. The VB examples are located in Components/USB Slave.

Hi guys,
I wrote a C# window form program to send and received data from rs232, I used com0com driver to loop back 2 virtual comport and test my C# winform program with some thing like Terminal (hyper)---OK. The question is when I used Flowcode, can I connect my progam with flowcode rs232 components toolbox?, I have look the rs232 ext properties but cannot find where to select the comport?
Thanks!
