Hi!

Would it be possible to use RoboDK "in background" and just communicate by API?

I have my own application, but no proper inverse kinematics. Could I use RoboDK for that and receive the axis movements by "events" (or something like that)?

Yes, you can use RoboDK in the background. To do so, you can call HideRoboDK to hide the RoboDK window after you start RoboDK (you can check this example here: C:/RoboDK/RoboDK_Hide.py).

Another option is to run RoboDK in the background as a service. You can start RoboDK using the -NOUI command.

For example:

Code:

RoboDK.exe -NOUI

You can test this by running this BAT file:
C:/RoboDK/RoboDK-Start-Background.bat

On the otherhand, if you use the -NOUI command you won't be able to see the 3D view of RoboDK if you want to display the RoboDK window (for example, using the API command ShowRoboDK).
