The Telecommander Software Kit enables you to control your Desktop Rover in new ways - from your computer and even over an Internet connection - from anywhere in the world! Try our new Telecommander Web Demo!

No computer science degree required!

The Telecommander software application and included interface cable (USB or
RS-232), makes it easy to simulate your very own "Mars Exploration" missions from the comfort of your computer console! The Software features an easy to learn Graphic User Interface (GUI)
that enables the user to prepare a series of commands for the Desktop Rover to perform automatically - with just a click of the "PLAY" button on the screen. It is easy to save any sequence of commands as a macro file which can be recalled for repeated playback, editing, and re-use in other command sequences.

This software can also be configured to operate as a client/server application over the internet. This means that the Desktop Rover can be controlled from a computer located anywhere there is an internet connection - an astounding capability - which is a standard feature of the Telecommander software.

To ensure a smooth installation, we have included help videos on the CDROM that shows how to install the software, connect the interface cable to your computer and Desktop Rover transmitter, and get started programming your own command sequences.

Consider that a robotics enthusiast will spend many hours with a soldering gun and stamp chip programming tools to achieve only a fraction of the functionality delivered by our Telecommander software and Desktop Rover.

Plantraco delivers a revolutionary wireless product that may cause a shift in current hobby robotics development from "brains on board" to "brains in the PC". With user friendly software on today's very powerful home computers, it can be so much easier to design and control robotic logic processes - right on the PC!

Plantraco microprocessor controlled digital transmitter and receiver electronics have been designed from the start to communicate with personal computers. We think this  is a very significant development, and we are already developing more new products that will utilize this "bridge" between physical hardware and the intangible world of internet

computing. Internet computer controlled R/C vehicles and transceiver equipped interactive toys are now inevitable, and Plantraco is well positioned to deliver some fantastic products for the 21st century. Our Telecommander software makes wireless computer control of the Desktop Rover easy for anyone with a PC or Macintosh.
