« Last post by Automatikai on April 17, 2024, 02:28:12 PM »Thanks Archie! I didn't know about the AdvancedHMI Files folder, I'll have to see if what I am wanting to do is built into any of the Sample Projects.
I am happy to share the document I am creating that encapsulates many of your program comments, just let me know where to put it. It will be a living document, I learn best by documenting what I do.
As far as training, I would imagine that most of the industrial automation focused users of the software have the same problem I do, a lack of experience in Visual Studio. A good VS class would be useful, but probably would take years to become adept in. I teach PLC classes for AB, Siemens, Omron and Beckhoff, and students only pick up the very basics in a week. I always tell them it takes years of practice on real-world applications to become adept at it, and they rarely have the opportunity to write their own code and build equipment like I did coming up. I teach TwinCAT only to people with a firm foundation in ladder from some other platform, and it is MUCH harder to teach things like OOP and ST structures to people with no practical coding background in a non-graphical language. Also for most of them their company pays for the training, companies have much deeper pockets than individuals.
I tried to attach a pdf of the document here, but the max file size is 512k and the pdf is 1.6MB. I am also happy to share the Word format with you or anyone who wants to collaborate on it. Let me know how I might share it.
