Hacking An EpMotion 5075?

cbird · 08-10-2014, 10:18 AM

We have an EpMotion 5075 and it's nearly worthless when compared to undergrads.

I want to hack the controlling software so I can program it to do what I want. I have a lot of experience with a Versarray robot which came with a programming manual.

On the epmotions, I've found that you can open the program file that is made by the gui but I can only call predefined procedures. I want to modify the procedures that are being called, but can't seem to get at them.

Eppendorf won't help me. Has anybody hacked their epmotion? Does anybody have any advice?

What are you trying to get it to do, that you can't do with the software that was designed to control the robot?
