Robo Programmer is a Windows-focused Fanuc LS programming and diagnostic application. It combines a browser-based editor with PowerShell launchers. Refer to Robo Programmer Instructions.txt for a full set of functions and instruction. Use in tandem with a live Fanuc robot or Roboguide to get the most out of this. When connected, Robo Programmer acts similar to an online PLC editor, where programs can be monitored and modified from Robo Programmer on your PC. Comments, registers, and positions register can be read/written. Backups can be pulled and downloaded directly to your PC. Live position and line-by-line program monitoring are available.
For the Online Robot portion of this project to run with all features, two robot options are required:
FTP Interface (R796)
ASCII Program Loader (J716)
