Status lights
Is there a way to hook up status lights? I'm building 5 robots to stack paper in a printshop. I would like to have 3 separate colors for (ready) (working) and (error) so that the status can be seen across the room. These should pick up on the status indication of the software.
Hello, yes you should be able to program robot outputs to turn on the lights at different points in the program. did you plan on using PLC communication or an arduino 5v board? this video goes over using 5v IO in your program if you want to use an arduino board and 5v relay https://youtu.be/76F6dS4ar8Y?si=2H-9O7aP3x8CAmns
this video shows some info on setting up Modbus communication if you want to use a PLC to handle the lights turning off and on. https://youtu.be/rlkXXM32B9c?si=mr8x50Trm2PBTeDr
