Power tool operation recording and playback
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a power tool by an external device, the method comprising:
- establishing, via a communication interface of the external device, a first wireless communication link with a first power tool, the external device including a memory and an electronic processor coupled to the memory and the communication interface;
receiving, by the electronic processor of the external device via the first wireless communication link, a recorded motor parameter from the first power tool, wherein the recorded motor parameter is recorded by the first power tool during an operation of the first power tool and is based on an output from a sensor of the first power tool;
establishing, via the communication interface of the external device, a second wireless communication link with a second power tool; and
transmitting, by the external device via the second wireless communication link, the recorded motor parameter to the second power tool, wherein the second power tool is configurable to replicate the operation of the first power tool by playing-back the recorded motor parameter.

Abstract
Systems and methods of operating power tools. The method includes receiving a command to start a recording mode at a first electronic processor of a first power tool, and receiving at the first electronic processor, a measured parameter from a sensor of the first power tool while a first motor of the first power tool is operating. The method also includes generating a recorded motor parameter by recording the measured parameter, on a first memory of the first power tool, when the first power tool operates in the recording mode, and transmitting, with a first transceiver of the first power tool, the recorded motor parameter. The method further includes receiving the recorded motor parameter at an external device, transmitting the recorded motor parameter to a second power tool via the external device, and receiving the recorded motor parameter via a second transceiver of the second power tool.

10. A device for controlling a power tool, the device comprising:
-
a communication interface; an electronic processor coupled to the communication interface; a memory coupled to the electronic processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the electronic processor, configure the electronic processor to establish, via the communication interface, a first wireless communication link with a first power tool based on a selection of the first power tool in a power tool list from a graphical user interface; receive, via the first wireless communication link, a recorded motor parameter from the first power tool, wherein the recorded motor parameter is recorded by the first power tool during an operation of the first power tool and is based on an output from a sensor of the first power tool; establish, via the communication interface, a second wireless communication link with a second power tool; and transmit, via the second wireless communication link, the recorded motor parameter to the second power tool, wherein the second power tool is configurable to replicate the operation of the first power tool by playing-back the recorded motor parameter. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a program for interfacing with a power tool by an external device, wherein the program, when executed by an electronic processor of the electronic device, configures the electronic processor to:
-
establish, via a communication interface of the external device, a first wireless communication link with a first power tool, the external device including a memory and an electronic processor coupled to the memory and the communication interface; receive, via the first wireless communication link, a recorded motor parameter from the first power tool, wherein the recorded motor parameter is recorded by the first power tool during an operation of the first power tool and is based on an output from a sensor of the first power tool; establish, via the communication interface, a second wireless communication link with a second power tool; and transmit, via the second wireless communication link, the recorded motor parameter to the second power tool, wherein the second power tool is configurable to replicate the operation of the first power tool by playing-back the recorded motor parameter. - View Dependent Claims (20)
