The fx_plan_stack is a library written in C / C++ that simplifies communication and control between a computer and a FlexSEA device. This page will guide you through installing and working with the fx_plan_stack.
There are several advantages to using the fx_plan_stack compared to the old stack:
Currently the fx_plan_stack allows your program code to be written in:
The fx_plan_stack API is provided by a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) in the Windows environment. There are currently two DLLs, a 32-bit version and a 64-bit version. Each DLL provides the same functionality and can be used with multiple languages - both compiled and interpreted.

Pre-compiled libraries are included in the Actuator Package repository. We are looking at a better way to distribute this, but for now clone the Actuator Package repository.
git clone https://github.com/DephyInc/Actuator-Package.git [name_of_directory_to_clone_into]
On other platforms you will need to build the library from scratch, including its dependencies.
