“More than just a toy !” Literally translated quotation from the letter of the official fischertechnik fan club, November 1999: “Even though fischertechnik is not available anymore or hard to find in many toy stores: fischertechnik is still present, and things go on as they were !” I agree with that !
This document is about the construction kits of fischertechnik, and it is not affiliated with the manufactorer of fischertechnik, fischerwerke.
I am still interested to buy fischertechnik kits (especially FT-Electronics, FT-Electromechanics, FT-Pneumatics FT-Profi Pneumatics, all FT-Computing kits including FT-Mobile Robots, FT-Profi-Sensorics (old and new kit), FT-Industry Robots, FT-Profi Solar, FT-Focus Kits, all electronics/electromechanics items (amperemeter em8, counter em6,..) and all items of the FT-RC controlling kits (RC sender; RC receiver = wheel drive and servo; servo for handle-bar and gear-switching), for very low prices. So if You live in Europe (likely in Germany, because of the postal rates) and if You just don't need Your fischertechnik kits from Your youth anymore, then please contact me.
In autumn 1999, I wrote a complete embedded software for controlling a miniature modell of an installation for turning parcels ( “Paketwendeanlage” ) of the fischertechnik construction kit 30330 Profi Computing. The modell is controlled by an 80537 microcontroller board.
“Inkl. Solarmotor, 2x Lichtschranken-LED, 1x Fototransistor, 2x Taster, gedruckte Bauanleitung, didaktisches Begleitheft, Verpackung in einer stabilen Box 500”.
“Erforderlich: Calliope Board sowie Software Open Roberta”.
This fischertechnik kit doesn´t include a “Calliope” microcontroller board.
The kit is shipped with special male “Calliope” jacks to be sticked into the original female “Calliope” jacks. By this, original female “fischertechnik” jacks are provided. So that you may connect the “Calliope” by original male “fischertechnik” jacks with your “fischertechnik” electronics, e.g. “fischertechnik” sensors and actors.

Mit einem Gehäuse kannst du den mini ohne Bedenken berühren. Zudem schützt ein Gehäuse deinen mini beim Transport zum Beispiel im Schulranzen. Die kleinen Bauteile können schnell einmal abbrechen, das wollen wir mit einem Gehäuse vermeiden.
