Moving Robot through PC SDK

Hi,

is it possible to move the robot from a connected PC by using the PC SDK or similar? What i want is a button, and while this button is hold clicked, the robot should move in a certain direction. This is mainly what the joystick on the TeachPendant does, but i want to do it from a pc...

Regards,
Matthias

    There are no direct commands to do this so you would have to do it as a workaround with adding variable lengths to existing targets etc maybe something like offset. Then you are going to get stuck in singularities and whatnot.
    I would advice against it. Its complicated and wrought with safety/security issues.
