Introduction<\/h1>\n

The Welding Node provides a user-friendly interface specifically designed for welding applications using TMcraft. This article offers a straightforward tutorial to help you grasp the basic logic behind Welding Node, giving you insights into developing TMcraft applications for similar use cases.<\/p>\n

By following steps, you can build and debug the source code of Welding Node and then deploy to a cobot or TMflow simulator on your laptop. Please note that this source code is a simplified version just for demonstration.<\/p>\n

TMcraft Node is a customizable node that third-party developers can use to create their own application user interfaces. It is built using the UserControl component, with the TMcraft library supporting C# exclusively.<\/p>\n

Once the source code is complete, you can package it using the TMcraft Packer and then import it to a cobot or the TMflow simulator for deployment.<\/p>\n

Step-by-step tutorial<\/h1>\n

[Step1]<\/p>\n

Unzip the file in [Preparation 4<\/strong>].<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[Step2]<\/p>\n

In the folder, you will see those sub folders:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. WeldNode => source code of Welding Node<\/li>\n
  2. WeldNodeApp => simulator to run the WeldNode without cobot or TMflow simulator<\/li>\n
  3. TMCdll => TMcraft library<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Execute *.sln to open the source code.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    [Step3]<\/p>\n

    Under the WeldNode project, *.xaml is the UI design and *.cs is the codes. We use UserControl component to create the WeldNode.<\/p>\n

    Click BUILD to build them.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    [Step4]<\/p>\n

    Run the project WeldNodeAPP (this is the container for simulation to run the UserControl component for WeldNode without TMflow) or you can navigate to the exe file here:<\/p>\n

    \u2026\\WeldNode_v1.0.0.70 Sample Code\\WeldNode_WeldFunction_ML\\WeldNodeApp\\bin\\Debug\\net6.0-windowsWeldNodeApp.exe<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    You can also modify the source code for testing.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    [Step5]<\/p>\n

    If you want to deploy the result to a real cobot or TMflow simulator, you will need the TMcraft Packer [Preparation 5]<\/strong> to pack it and transfer it. Refer to the documentation in [Preparation 6]<\/strong> for more information.<\/p>\n
