# Select Communication Sources

to exchange data and commands between bysense and your laptop you have two options:

## Wireless

For development activities around autonomy we recommend to use a wireless connection over your local wifi network.

## Wired

For low level locomotion development we recommend to use the wired setup especially when you want to transfer a very high amount of data in short timeframe.

we will review under the Software Development Kit how to access bysense with your Computer.

## Joystick

For the base walking function you have the chance to use a common used hand held controller to define the walk direction:
