Kuka KRL parser and flowcharts generator (tech preview)

Hello guys,

I have created an application that allows to parse(and execute) KRL code. It also produces flowcharts. It is still not userfriendly. I'm asking myself if it could be userful for someone.

I created it to run kuka robot code in case of no simulator available.

The link to the project: rawpython/kukaKRLmagic: Translates kuka KRL robot programs into python code for an easy debugging. Plus it produces flowcharts. (github.com)

It is coded in python. It is compatible with python>=3.7.

When you run the application, it converts the robot code into python (really executable python code) and shows the flowcharts.

Kind Regards,

Davide

I can't seem to get it to work, I installed remi, but I get an error when trying to import operate:

Code

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'operate'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\vpetkov\Downloads\kukaKRLmagic-master\global_defs.py", line 320, in clock
    import operate

Dear @dexterv , this message is temporary and does not affect the execution. You should wait a while until the code is parsed. When ready, a webpage with flowcharts will appear

Do I understand correctly that I can write code in KRL and this thing converts it into Python... and I can run the Python code to simulate the robot in RoboDK?

Dear Koppel, actually it converts KRL into Python, so you can run the code. I planned to link it to RoboDK in the future, it would be great.

When I try to run it, it dies on the import of _thread (no such module). I've installed the threading module, but that didn't help. All the StackOverflow threads boil down to "don't use _thread n00b" and give no usable advice.

Dear SkyeFire , _thread is a standard python module. It is was optional in the past, by since 3.7 it is always present. Please check which python version are you using when running the script. As a standard python module it is not a problem to use it. It is required in this application to allows to reproduce the RESUME behaviour of KRL instruction.

Dear Sirs,

I added some missing files. Now it should work correctly. Please update your repos and try again if you want.

Kind Regards

Python 3.7.9.

Error:

File "\kukaKRLmagic-master\global_defs.py", line 9, in <module>import _thread

ImportError: No module named _thread

That's strange, I will do further tests and provide you a solution. Thank you for reporting.
