Download and Installation Instructions: Microsoft Windows (Visual Studio 2008)


Download URL: http://cs.stanford.edu/people/tkr/fri/download/fril.zip

Download the file and copy it to a directory of yours (e.g., C:\Users\MyUsername\FRI). After unzipping the compressed file with a tool (e.g., 7-Zip), you need to replace the three files friComm.h, friudp.h, and friudp.cpp with the original files you received from KUKA (cf. List of Files). Afterwards you open the Visual Studio solution file

FRILibrary\Windows\FastResearchLibrary.sln

with your Microsoft Visual Studio development environment. You may rebuild the entire solution to check whether all files compile correctly on your system. If so, you may continue with Step 4 of the Quick Start Manual. The class FastResearchInterface represents the user API.

Please note that you will need to adapt the path of the initialization file (e.g., 980039-FRI-Driver.init) before you can establish a connection form the remote host to the KRC control unit.
