Setup RobotStudio to work with the driver #18

Hi, I'm new to RobotStudio. How can I setup my workstation and controllers to be able to work with the driver? I want to be able to use the EGM feature.

I've followed these old steps up till "RobotStudio Setup". In addition to 616-1 PC interface and 623-1 Multitasking , I added 689-1 Externally Guided Motion. Is this the correct way to start?

This is almost off-topic for this issue tracker.

For questions about RobotStudio, I'd refer you to the RobotStudio fora.

As to the required options for abb_robot_driver: that would indeed include EGM.

I don't believe the PC Interface is needed, as no data is received or transmitted from RAPID directly: RWS and EGM take care of that.

As this not is an issue with the packages in this repository, I'm going to close it.

Please feel free to keep commenting on it of course.
