Software emulator wish
I did a quick search on thge forums to see if there was an existing thread on this, and couldn't find any so here I go!
I do a lot of work on simple PLCs and for most of them the programming software has an emulator so that you can test your programming before actually downloading to a controller.
I am working on programmng a robot (who isn't) and would love to be able to test the sub programs and the whole program while I am sitting in a hotel room at night.
With air travel as crazy as it is, and the hassles I go through checking basic hand tools and test equipment, bringing a BOE Bot, accessories, and or other "toys" with me is darn near impossible.
So does anyone (parallax?) know if there is or will be a software emulator in the works? Nothing crazy just the ability to poke an input and see what happens at the outputs.
For examples of what I mean look at the programmable relay software at B&B electronics, or the VERY inexpensive Chinese FAB plcs and their knock offs.
Thanx!
