fischertechnik Training Factory Industry 4.0 (en)

This project contains the C/C++ library TxtSmartFactoryLib and the main and client programs for the fischertechnik Training Factory Industry 4.0. The library requires at least the TXT firmware version 4.5.1.

The current txt_training_factory version v0.8.0 (Release Notes) requires at least TXT firmware 4.6.6 (Release Notes). See HowTo for more details. An upgrade takes some time and should best be done by an experienced user, because all the data on the TXT controllers will be overwritten.
