through VEXnet 802.11g but I am new use product vex
I researched about vexnet, I know that the communication is as wifi but I don´t find information about how send information through ethernet used ip address or router or direct with VEXnet
I read that VEXnet is for comunication between joystick and wex cortex but I don´t want use joystick I want communication wirelessly between wex cortex and my pc though a programing in Visual Basic
I have thought in use bluetooth but, the communication is unstable. The communication much is lost
In summary I want comunication wirelessly between vex cortex and my pc but I control the robot whith a programing in Visual Basic

I send a data for example a ¨1¨ and the vex cortex received date and depending on date vex cortex make a action
thank all for your time I hope that someone respond me because is for a project of school and I need this information
and sorry for my english I know little english
That kit allows you to connect the PC to the joystick. You then use VEXnet between the Joystick and the Cortex. @natyman wants to go directly from the PC to the Cortex, as far as I know that’s not supported.
Then you will also need a USB A-A cable ($15 or under at monoprice or amazon) or use two Vexnet keys. Downside to USB cables is you are tethered, the downside to Vexnet keys is the refresh rate is lower than you may need.

The Vexnet keys will run you an additional $80 as you have to buy two… So $130 (which is probably going to be a few more dollars than you may expect) or $95 plus shipping on those
