If you have no experience with FANUC software, Industrial Electronics, or programming of any kind - and are starting from scratch, you should review these pages in the following order. This is not a complete list of available pages, others are linked within.
The order is chosen for ease of understanding. It starts with the components, safety devices, and terminology. It's important to know these first so you can understand what they are in later pages.
== Introduction Materials ==

*[[Teach Pendant]]
*[[Jogging]] - You will need to jog the robot to be able to teach points in motion programs. It is important to focus on remembering the directions of each axis and get a feel for the buttons on the teach pendant. An acceptable level to be at when moving past this section is to be able to open a book with the robot's vacuum tool without mashing jog keys.
== Novice Materials ==
'''The following are novice-level materials that will get you to creating simple programs.'''
*The [[EDIT]] and [[SELECT]] Screens - These are the screens you will primarily be utilizing to create and edit programs. Focus on being able to navigate between programs, create new programs, add and edit motion instructions, and use the edit commands such as insert, delete, and copy.
**[[Motion Instructions]]
***[[Motion Instructions Lab]]
* [[Frames]] - Before writing programs, the accuracy of the Tool Frame should always be confirmed and a User frame defined to the work area. When working on this section, focus on creating tool and user frames, as well as switching between available frames of reference for jogging and teaching points. The three-point methods are sufficient for our labs and projects.
