Introduction

The Racelogic VBOX Touch platform allows developers to write their own code to run on top of Racelogic’s own framework. This framework allows you to make the most out of the entire platform. (See the next section, Hardware for details of the features of your VBOX Touch.)

The programming language chosen for the VBOX Touch is MicroPython. This language allows developers who are familiar with the commonly used language Python to get coding quickly. MicroPython contains a cut-down feature set compared to Python but the version running on the VBOX Touch also allows access to the hardware through its libraries. Reference for these libraries can be found in the Programmer’s Reference section.

The current section (About) describes some details about the VBOX Touch and provides information about the hardware. It is advised to read through each page in this section before starting development and then begin following the tutorials in the tutorials section.

The quickest way to get started is to develop with the help of an AI coding assistant. See the Developing with AI page for a ready-to-use project that gets you up and running in minutes.

Once you are familiar with the platform and developing for it the programmer’s reference guide contains information on all the libraries provided for programming. In addition to the programmer’s reference, there is also a section on Racelogic Frameworks that we have created that we find make it easy to develop apps on the VBOX Touch. Finally, the help section details where to look and how to contact us for further help and information.
