How to use

• make sure you have a measured Feature Plane in the installation tab of the UR robot, with a known origin, use the same name in line 51 of the sketch for feature variable
• run sketch
• find exported UR script in /data
• transfer exported file onto UR robot via USB key or FTP
• create new Program with Script node, set it to File and select the loaded script file
• Run the program with 10% speed override to make sure everything is fine
