Hello guys, How to implement FlexPendant SDK in Visual Studio 2013?
I have done following steps:
1- install Visual Studio 2013 Professional
2- install RobotStudio 6.01.01 with included RobotWare 6.01.01
3- install FlexPendantsdk.6.01.01.exe (under C:\Program Files (x86)\ABB Industrial IT\Robotics IT\SDK\FlexPendant SDK 6.01)
After installation in Visual Studio should be under New Project dialog /Visual C# / Smart Device/ FlexPendant …but i miss this template . What i do wrong ?? is it even possible to connect with VS 2013..?? Thnx.

I am not an export on FlexPendant SDK but I think you must use Visual Studio 2008 to work with it.
