A Free Open-Source E-Book for HandlingTool TeachPendant Programming

I've been working on a website for awhile now to supplement the curriculum I teach on industrial robotics, in which we utilize a couple of FANUC educational carts (LR Mate 200id4s + R30ib).

While students often find and use pirated FANUC books they find online, I could never endorse it or use them as part of the course itself due to copyrights. I made the site as a way around it, almost entirely researched by playing around with our robots and the simulator software.

The site is designed for my students and so far it only really includes basic materials we teach in our single semester course, but I wanted to post it here because it may be of help to people here.

Edit: The forum allows me to attach two files at a time to a post. I'm attaching two of the labs I created for the students to perform. I'll attach more to new comments.

Very nice!

This looks like a great resource to point my customers to when they want some very general basic info (and maybe more if we all contribute?).

That's something that has always perplexed me. When you're choosing robots (and there's a LOT of choices these days) you're gonna google the shit out of it ahead of time. If there's not a huge community with lots of open/free documentation, manuals for days, and guides to really get over that initial learning curve - why would anyone choose your robot?

I get that quality is quality and FANUC is surviving based on that, but damn - there was just nothing out there for people wanting to learn.

More labs, detailing registers and tool frames.
