API Control

All robots use the WebSocket API for communication.

To help users quickly understand the communication protocol, we provide a simple open-source demo (mainly in Rust, with some C++ demos) to help you get started.

If you are ready to write your own driver, then the above is the best choice.

Getting the Controller's IP Address

If the device has a screen (like the base), please refer to the product-specific instructions on the screen. If there is no screen, please refer to the HexController documentation.

Community Supported SDK/Demo

Additionally, hexfellow supports open-source community development of tools like ROS packages, Python SDKs, etc. However, considering the different development environments, operating system versions, system libraries, etc., it is difficult to standardize. Therefore, we are unable to provide technical support for these advanced demos. The links below are maintained by the community. If you encounter any development issues, please ask in the corresponding Github discussion area.
