Download 3Pi Programmer for Windows

Welcome to the download page for the Anibit Graphical Robot Programmer for Windows.

For more information about this tool, see this page.

This tool runs the same Anibit Graphical Programmer programmer tool that runs in a web browser, but runs it locally and automates the process of compiling and uploading blocks to the robot.

Release Notes

  • Bug fix release, no major new features
  • Fixed a hang that occurred if you tried to lunch multiple instances of the Arduino IDE
  • Works with "Sketchbook" programmer/board definitions, for example if you follow these instructions to add the USB AVR Programmer support.
  • Removed The Arduino Logo from the UI, as per requested by Arduino
  • Does a better job sending the proper hardware settings to Arduino when uploading to the Robot.
  • Known issues
    • Help files are not very substantive at the moment.
    • Functions returning a value do not work

    • Pololu's Arduino Tool for 3Pi, available here.
    • If you are using Pololu's USB AVR programmer, you may also need to install the drivers available at the bottom of this page, and configure your Arduino IDE to use it. Some instructions for that are here.
  • Known issues
    • Help files are not very substantive at the moment.
    • Functions returning a value do not work
