Roboguide

Hi all, I have been reading a lot of posts mentioning Roboguide and am wondering what it is.  I am used to programming .ls files offline in UltraEdit and loading those into the robot.  Just curious what robotguide is for and if you can create User Menus and .VR files with it.

Thanks.

ROBOGUIDE is primarily a robot cell simulation package.  The name is the generic reference for FANUC Robotic's PRO packages (HandlingPRO, PaintPRO, etc.)  For what you are doing, you would need OlpcPRO, the successor to WinOLPC.  OlpcPRO is a scaled-down ROBOGUIDE.  It doesn't include the graphics world and you can only create a cell with one robot in it.  It has a built-in context-sensitive editor for program development.  You can develop and run your programs on the virtual robot.  It also comes with the original command-line utilities (ktrans, kcdict, kconvars, maketp, and printtp) that you can launch from a third-party editor like UltraEdit.  WinOLPC covered all V5.xx (R-J3) and V6.xx (R-J3iB) robots.  OlpcPRO is used for V6.40 and later (R-J3iB) and V7.xx (R-J3iC or R30iA).
