Using YMConnect to Retrieve a Robot Position Variable

This program demonstrates how to read a robot position variable from the controller using YMConnect. This code is the same on Windows or on Linux. This program uses a structure called RobotPositionVariableData. The structure layout can be found here.

#include "YMConnect.h"

void main()
{
    StatusInfo status{};
    auto c = YMConnect::OpenConnection("192.168.1.31", status);

    //Declare a RobotPositionVariableData.
    RobotPositionVariableData robotPositionVariableData{};

    //Read the position variable at index 1. Assign it to variable robotPositionVariableData;
    status = c->Variables->RobotPositionVariable->Read(1, robotPositionVariableData);

    YMConnect::CloseConnection(c);
}
