Selecting Development Method

Choose based on the external controller's capabilities:

No external controller: Use Scene Editor to call Lua SDK and Lua API for simple control logic execution within the robot arm, with auto-start capability
Controller with TCP Socket: Use Lua Socket Service to call Lua SDK and Lua API
Controller with HTTP/WebSocket: Use JSON-RPC Service to control the robot arm
Controller capable of running SDK: Use Lebai SDK in supported programming languages
Controller with ROS: Use ROS SDKopen in new window
Controller with Modbus-TCP: Use Modbus TCP
Controller with Serial Port: Follow the no-controller approach, use Scene Editor to create a scene that receives serial data and auto-starts. Execute actions based on received data. Example code: https://github.com/lebai-robotics/example/blob/main/lua_api/%E4%B8%B2%E5%8F%A3%E6%8E%A7%E5%88%B6.luaopen in new window
Controller with IO: Follow the no-controller approach, use Scene Editor to create a scene that monitors IO changes and auto-starts. Execute actions based on IO changes. Example code: https://github.com/lebai-robotics/example/blob/main/lua_api/IO%E5%92%8C%E4%BF%A1%E5%8F%B7%E9%87%8F%E6%8E%A7%E5%88%B6.luaopen in new window

It's recommended to first learn using the Scene Editor with Lua SDK and Lua API, which doesn't require an external controller.

It's suggested to handle motion trajectory logic in the Scene Editor, while external editors can call specific interfaces to run scenes. For example:
