KRC2ed05, running KSS 5.6.10
I'd like to clean out all the existing stuff from the previous owner, removing the grippertech, spottech and all that peripheral treasure that I don't need. They had many plugins but I'm just going to be doing 4 or 5 basic I/O's through a wago 750.
I've been trying to reinstall KSS entirely and start with a blank-ish slate, but I'm stopped by not having a ps2 keyboard (I think? ref [SOLVED] KUKA KRC2 Windows fail) so that's on it's way. I'm not super clear on how exactly to reinstall KSS anyway, is this all it is?:
0) create clone drive, put it somewhere safe
1) hold shift key (on ps2 keyboard)
2) power on controller
3) release shift key after windows screen fully loaded
4) navigate to d:/KRC1_CD and run SETUP.exe
I can't stop Kuka cross / HMI from auto starting, so unless I can safely kill tasks through the task manager I'm waiting for the keyboard.
In the meantime, I'm trying to calibrate the robot (using robodk, I have the wrong robot type at the moment.) but when I start the positions program, I get an error message waiting for an input to turn on:
Any ideas where this is checking for the input? The closest I've gotten is the config.dat file with the error message.
Next idea was to try replacing machine.dat and robcor.dat like this thread suggests: Clean $config, cell.dat and sps.sub, etc. Not sure where cell.src fits in, but I didn't have one in my R1 folder & adding one had no effect.
Here is an archive from this morning before I started fighting too much, any insight would be huge.
