Hi everyone
I am doing my final degree project with LabView and I am new at programing LabView with robotics module. I am trying to open and see the structure of the KUKA YouBot project to add some features but LabView shows me the following error mesage when I open it and in the screen project I see the following:
Could anyone help me with this? I don´t know what I am missing. I think I have installed correctly the robotic module and KUKA robotic library....
thank you

You need to install the Industrial Communications EtherCAT driver.

I have installed it ,but LabView shows me the same error message
could be another version of the driver is necesary? or its something I have done uncorrectly?
and why the KUKA youBot VIs are missing? I intalled the KUKA library as well but they are missing and I can´t work with them in the lvproject example of youBot
thanks

Is it licensed? If you've installed it, that error message should go away. You might have others beyond that.
Where did you put the youbot VIs after you installed them?

I downloaded NI EtherCAT comunication driver and installed it, but for any reason it seems as it wasn´t installed. Have I to install it using NI MAX? Is it necessary EtherCAT comunication driver if only I want to see the block diagramans and VIs of the youBot without transfering them to a real youBot (only simulation on computer required)
and concerning the youBot VIs, I installed the KUKA library of Imagine Labs through JKI Manager, but I don´t know why is missing the VIs. It´s because the library is in demo mode? and, really I have to install KUKA library to see the youBot VIs?
I programmed in Labview simple VIs and know the basics but all this stuff seems to me really confusing....
tahnk you for help

I think that the problem is with the youBot subVIs.
if I can install them properly the error will be solved
you know where I can download the YouBot API with all the subVIs?
thank you for your help
