From this page you can download the source code for a complete demonstration Windows application—FBWwinAppDemo—written in C# using the fly-by-wire techniques from the book. To make the demonstration interesting, we imagine that FBWwinAppDemo controls a simple robot that can sense the infrared radiation emitted by a person and follow him around a room.

The FBWwinAppDemo solution presented here comprises two projects. One—WinAppInfrastructure—produces a dynamic-linked-library that furnishes the fly-by-wire infrastructure. The other project—RobotController—includes the forms and additional classes that make use of the infrastructure to achieve the functionality required of the robot controller. Thus segregated, the FBW infrastructure is available to underlie any Windows application.
