Dat file wont upload and only uploads as a keep file

martenH · Oct 19th 2021

I am running into a problem that when I try to upload a program from a usbstick onto my KRC2 controller where it will upload the .src file without any problem, but with the .dat file it gives me an error that has as source: FILEHANDLER. Then if i proceed to still upload it it becomes a: keep0 file and it the icon isnt the correct one what am I doing wrong? Thankyou for you help in advance!

This is the code that im trying to run:

&ACCESS RVO1

if the problem is with the DAT file, don't you think inspecting and perhaps posting that DAT file would make sense?

martenH · Oct 19th 2021

That is indeed a smart move to do... This is the dat code that is automatically produced when i safe my file in orangeedit

then stop posting SRC file.

also try using Code tag around the program code in your posts

martenH · Oct 19th 2021

This is the code that is automatically generated by OrangeEdit... probably also the reason why im getting the error message, How do I generate a correct dat file?

**panic mode** · Oct 19th 2021

SRC file has structure

Code

    DEF program_name()
       ; blah blah
    END

DAT file structure is

Code

DEFDAT program_name
   ; blah blah
ENDDAT

notice that DEF/END are used in SRC, while DEFDAT/ENDDAT are used in the DAT file

also notice that after module name there are parenthesis but - only in SRC file...!

**panic mode** · Oct 19th 2021

you can also confirm that by generating new program module on the robot. in fact that is what you should definitely do first to establish baseline for your robot programs. they contain other things (based on installed options) that are on your robot. those things end up in both SRC and DAT files (check INI fold for example)

I have adjusted the .dat file according to your sugestion however now i get a lot of errors saying illegal or unknown block... What am i doing wrong? am i a complete idiote?

Code

DEFDAT martenn

I will generate a new program on my robotcontroller instead of in orangeedit so i will get all the right things

This is what automatically is generated

**panic mode** · Oct 19th 2021

as already stated - create new program module using teach pendant then look what is inside those SRC and DAT files.

SRC file is used for instructions

DAT file is used for declarations

you are putting content of SRC file into DAT file. that is not allowed.

martenH · Oct 19th 2021

yesss currently busy with that as we speak

martenH · Oct 19th 2021

I have made a new program on the teach pendant however when in transport those onto a usb they show up on the KR2C but once i try to transport them to my computer they are not on the usb anymore and also dont show up once i plug the usb back into the KR2C.... allright i have figured this out by just duplicating the program.

This shows up in my .Dat file

Code

DEFDAT marten1
;FOLD EXTERNAL DECLARATIONS;%{PE}%MKUKATPBASIS,%CEXT,%VCOMMON,%P
;FOLD BASISTECH EXT;%{PE}%MKUKATPBASIS,%CEXT,%VEXT,%P
EXT  BAS (BAS_COMMAND  :IN,REAL  :IN )
DECL INT SUCCESS
;ENDFOLD (BASISTECH EXT)
;FOLD USER EXT;%{E}%MKUKATPUSER,%CEXT,%VEXT,%P
;Make here your modifications

;ENDFOLD (USER EXT)
;ENDFOLD (EXTERNAL DECLARATIONS)
ENDDAT

IT WORKED!!!! THANKYOU SO MUCH

**panic mode** · Oct 19th 2021

sounds like a user to me...

either the KRC did not finish writing files (files not closed properly or usb stick was not ejected properly before removal)

or

there is something on your computer that removes the file(s), perhaps antivirus...

and if you want to program robots, do not just look AT file icons. look INSIDE files if you want to see what is going on. use another machine to verify that files are there and in correct format. for example after you remove USB stick from KRC... you COULD connect the stick right back to that same KRC and look inside files. if all ok then you know that files disappear WHEN you connect USB drive to your computer.

martenH · Oct 19th 2021

I ejected the print as soon as my usb stopped flashing lights but maby still to soon... dont really have a antivirus activated :$ from now on ill check inside them aswel. my program now fully functions so im a happy man al thanks to you XD

Dat file wont upload and only uploads as a keep file
