Hello,

I have received our first IRC5 robot now and reeding documentation about it. There is nothing about how to program Flexpendant. There can I read something about it? That is Robot Application Builder and how much it costs? Is it necessary to use it or I can program FlexPendant using only Windows CE API?

Hello,

you have to use the RobotApplicationBuilder. Please ask your local representative to send you some details about it, since it is not officially released yet.
