driver install document inconsistency

[bigeetea]

In section 2.1.1 you are referencing $HOSTS_CFG

However, in the screenshot in section 2.1.3 you are showing $HOSTC_CFG

Which is it?

Also, will this run on V7.2 Fanuc controller? The main difference I am seeing is you can't specify a port # on the TAGS screen

Hi, thanks a lot for contacting us. It is $HOSTS_CFG. We have updated the photos. Regarding the V7.2 Fanuc controller, we haven't checked it physically. We will come back to you once we checked the controller physically. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us. :)

Thank you for fixing the driver install doc. I have been trying to get KTRANS to build the drivers using /ver V7.20-1, and I have found several issues. Issues I've found thus far that I am trying to fix:

Program and constant names longer than 12 characters -- easy fix. STRING[254] -- error says String can't be longer than 128 -- even after fixing this remains an issue at the moment.

Also, mappdk_cmd, and mappdk_comm don't build because there is no Program defined, only Routines.

You cannot build mappdk_cmd and mappdk_comm. Instead build mappdk_server and mappdk_logger.

Thank you for your assistance. I was able to get the software to run (User screen says MAPPDK SERVER started) inside of my HandlingPro Cell. However, since this is a virtual device, is there a networking trick I need to use so my Python program on my localhost can connect to the virtual controller running inside of Roboguide?

I setup the IP address on the virtual controller... but it's like Roboguide doesn't make that address accessible to my localhost PC

[torayeff]

There is no need for networking trick. Just connect to the IP address 127.0.0.1 from Python API. That’s all :)

I will close the issue if your problem is solved.

[bigeetea]

thank you. yes, you can close this issue.
