Hello,

Thanks for this awesome post. I know I am super late and this post is pretty old now.

I was wondering if you or anyone here has figured out a way to control the Fanuc, Hiwin/Kaku Robots.

Since, there are so many Single Board Computer out in the market there should definitely be a way.

I've my eyes and ears open, if I come across I am definitely going to post here.

Thanks Shan

Hi Shan,

Unfortunately we never could make it work to control it externally.

A fellow of us (@michaelbaisch) did manage however. You could ask him. Maybe he still has the code lying around and is willing to help.

Afaik he was also using a Fanuc robot.

It was all a while back. The thing is you need to have software features unlocked for this to work. And then all I did was only starting TP programs. It's a bit complicated, when you have the KAREL feature unlocked, you can write a KAREL program which will run in the background on the robot. There you can open a TCP socket and send/receive data to/from it.
