Robotiono View 2.8.4 API (external data into Robotino's program)

[Pedro]

I'm using Robotino View 2.8.4 to program a Robotino 1. My intension is to input external values into the program (via API). I cannot find much documentation about it, specially when it comes about Robotino 1, or Robotino View 2.8.4.
I'm having really hard time to program Robotino with any other tool than Robotino View, so I chose to use it since I only need to send Robotino to given coordinates.
My project is to receive some coordinates (x, y) from a middleware, then navigate Robotino to them, when Robotino arrives, middleware will be aware of it and send another round of coordinates.
The main problem is that I cannot find a way to input these data into Robotino's program. I know Robotino View supports UDP data exchange, but I rather not to use it since it's not guaranteed that Robotino will receive those packages correctly.
So I thought of using a custom block programmed in C++; but in orther to compile this custom function block I need Robotino View 2 API that I cannot find anywhere. I would appreciate very much to know where I can find it, or even get alternatives to input external data into Robotino

Unless you have a really bad WLAN network and you are sending the UDP packages over WLAN you can assume that the UDP packages will arrive and that they are correct. So the UDP dataexchange is the simplest method in your case.

Custom blocks in Robotino View is not a good idea. It is possible but also very very complicated.
