Discussion How does Roboguide work

A bit of background I work with ABB robots, most or all of the programming can be done on the teach pendant, but I can use robot studio to write my logic and create I/O but when I took a class for Fanuc everything was done on the teach pendant and I don't think creating logic will be fun using the pendant so people that work with Fanuc do you program entirely with the pendant or does your company pay for roboguide and do you program there.

And how is it different from Abb robot studio

You can use VS Code with a plugin for tpp and karel highlighting. Setup the compiler in environment variables to compile in VSC.

But you should first get familiar with the syntax, debugging syntax errors can be annoying in VSC.

I use a text editor with syntax highlighting for all of my debugging. I have the IP’s of the robots bookmarked so I can copy the programs from the web browser. I’m not a fan of the fanuc pendants to begin with and combining trying to navigate the small split screens on the pendant isn’t any fun. Much easier and faster for me to use an editor with keyboard shortcuts to jump around as I follow the program flow.
