In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a custom HMI Easy module in iiQWorks.AppBuilder to monitor a gripper. Step by step, you’ll import media, build a visual UI, and connect LED indicators to KRL signals. You’ll also see how to deploy your configuration and validate it using iiQWorks.Sim with a Virtual Robot Controller (VRC). By the end, you’ll understand how to visualize and test gripper states directly in the web UI of the VRC.
