The Software
The RoboMotion for Windows program allows you to teach the robot from
the keyboard or joystick. The arms gripper is positioned in an X, Y, Z
grid in inches, and the moves are stored in a spreadsheet format for
easy editing. A demo of this software is available from the files page.
The full version is included in the combo kit. There is an old and dated
DOS program available from the files page. It was written in Quick BASIC
ver 4.5. It allows you to move the arm via the keyboard, save positions
to a script file, single step and play the scripts back, save and load
the scripts to disk. The source code is included in ASCII so you can
