Only use SDK if it is found

[lly-c232733]

Hello! this is an incredible tool even without the SDK.

Would you/team be open to a pull request that either parameterizes if the SDK is used or not, or can detect if its available or not?

We have been using the non-SDK tools without the SDK installed, but of course we are needing to install the whl and have the documentation available. And of course the SDK tools would not work if used.

We could create a fork and then pull request for the tool to not import the whl if not available and also not expose the sdk tools if the whl is not installed.

What are your thoughts?

thanks

Hi there thanks for the nice comment! I am open to a PR, I will look it over when you got it ready.

I am debating on whether I would want to continue doing more improvements on this project. There were some good parts about it but definitely some other parts I wanted to fix, mainly the plc code generation I did not think was good, at least when I was using it.

If there were any other features and/or other improvements you would like could you let me know?
I am also curious if you don't mind sharing how exactly you used the tool? Any features you did not use?

mostly we have been using it as a POC to decide whether AI is able to answer basic questions about our project. maybe AI can assist engineers in the field to troubleshoot when certain situations happen, the engineer can ask the AI first to start in the right direction.

The code generation is not something that we really tried.
