Hello, yes, you can use RobotStudio to configure the system parameters (Node “Configuration” in the treeview of the ribbon “Controller” of the active controller Everything is described in the manual of the Production Manager in chapter 4.1. BR Micky ---

Hi Micky, Maybe you have an example of the pc sdk for user selection which program to run? And/or basic pack&go set up and 100% functional for start developing pc sdk? When I start working on some projects like this one is much faster/better for me to understand from an example. My robot studio pack&go set up not working proparly and I can not start working on my GUI. I’m stuck. ---

Hi, in the developer center of the SDK you will find several YouTube videos and program examples which describes in detail how you could start. [http://developercenter.robotstudio.com/pcsdk/gettingstarted](http://developercenter.robotstudio.com/pcsdk/gettingstarted) A possible concept how to select and start a program is described above. Maybe you should hire a specialist who can do the programming for you. /BR Micky ---

That’s the point. I would like to learn and know how to do it my self. I did not figure it out how to set up RobotStudio properly. And after that, I need to figure it out about pc sdk set up. I need little help with that. ---

Micky, Maybe you know how can I pull a variable from the module with C#? I need to make an instance of RapidData class and use the GetRapidData (RapidData rd = controller.Rapid.GetRapidData(“T\_ROB1”, “ModuleName”,“variableName”)) or I need to do something else? ---

Hello, You can get an example in this experimental SmartComponent: > **[GitHub - DenisFR/RSDrawGraphics: This is a RobotStudio Smart Component to draw...](https://github.com/DenisFR/RSDrawGraphics)** > > This is a RobotStudio Smart Component to draw graphics defined in RAPID code. If you’ve got remarks on it, you (and other) can make issue before I post it to RobotApps.
