To upload photo images from the fischertechnik ROBOTICS TXT 4.0 Controller to a PC, use a USB cable connection for the best image data transmission quality. Connect a mini-USB cable between the PC and the Controller, then turn on the Controller. Once connected, image data can be transferred from the Controller to the PC.
