How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
As I was preparing some demos for TechEd Developers Barcelona, I recorded one of them.
The purpose is to show how to use Robotics Studio to remotely drive a robot from a Windows Mobile device using Robotics Studio... seems complicated!
Finally not that much.
All steps are detailled in this screencast:
- create a simple service with Visual Studio 2005
- use Microsoft Visual Programming Language to create the Application
- Generate the Compact Framework project
- Deploy on Windows Mobile
- Drive robot!

Excellent example Olivier. It worked on the first attempt for me!
I have expanded your example a little to use buttons as well as the keyboard without needing the WindowsKeyboardListner. (There is nothing wrong with the keyboard listner -- I just prefer to keep things a little more compact.)
The only problem I have now is that my application will not shut down on the PDA and I have to kill the process
This does not happen on Windows XP and it is executing the same shutdown code. (I have built a service with both desktop and CF versions.)
Thanks,
Trevor
Can u suggest some ways to make multiple boe-bots work through the bluetooth enabled laptop?
What kind of modification would it require in the code?
Thanks a lot!
Once again, a pretty neat demo!

Labhesh.
