So here's my short story. Boss gave me a new position to write the programs for our custom built machines. "Theres a computer, go use it" - was my instruction. I have programming experience but machine programming is new to me. We are using Motion Perfect with Proface HMIs. Anyways to practice I ordered one of those robot arms that use Arduino uno boards. That works fine (except one servo is junk, meh) except now to actually practice what I'm supposed to do for work is I want to control the robot arm from my HMI (screen is a LT4301M). I spent a few weeks learning how to program ladder logic and set that up so I have a little experience there. So my question is how (if at all) can I control the servos on the robot arm using the usb port on the HMI?
Everything else we use the ethernet ports but this robot arm is the only servo I can actually hookup and practice with.
