Blocks introduced

backend request state Requests the backend for data that can be used in the state flow clear alarms dobotconnection Clears all the active alarms on the machine close connection dobotconnection closes the active connection with the machine, freeing up the occupied connection. core version value Returns the current RUAL Core version define number float Store this float as reference, which can later be used by "use reference" disable dobotconnection Disables the machine dynamic query filter statedatatablefilter Creates a dynamic filter using a query enable dobotconnection Enables the machine enable dh gripper dobotconnection Enables the end tool to be compatible with the DH Robotics Grippers execute state Executes the given funcion and waits for it to be executed. find array The first element in the array that satisfies the provided testing function. get coordinate systems dobotconnection grabs the current coordinate systems from the machine get coordinates dobotconnection grabs the current joints cartesian coordinates of the machine. When you're using a 4 joint machine, the last 2 joints will be ignored. get serial dobotconnection grabs the current serial of the machine. get speed dobotconnection grabs the current speed of the machine. get status dobotconnection grabs the current status of the machine. line stop float gives you the option to position lines better to have an nicer and a more cleanded up Blueprint. local devices dobotconnection Retrieves the local devices and their connection information move to safe point dobotconnection Moves the machine to the preconfigured safe home position at the current speed on blur stateevents Triggers the event everytime the blur event has been registered on the UI for the connected element on change stateevents Triggers the event everytime a change has been registered within the UI for the connected element. Primarily used with input elements. on click stateevents Triggers the event everytime a left click has been registered within the UI for the connected element on focus stateevents Triggers the event everytime the focus event has been registered on the UI for the connected element on key enter stateevents Triggers the event everytime the enter key has been registered within the UI for the connected element on rightclick stateevents Triggers the event everytime a right click has been registered within the UI for the connected element open connection dobotconnection Opens a new dobot connection, make sure to close it. A machine only allows a single active automation. pad end number Pads the given number with char. on the right to match the given length. return state state Returns a reactive state element from events set coordinates dobotconnection Moves the machine into the given coords using joint motion. When you're using a 4 joint machine, the last 2 joints will be ignored. set digital output dobotconnection Updates the machines digital output so the given status, can be queued by time range in milliseconds set relative movement dobotconnection Moves the machines joint motion relative to the current coords. When you're using a 4 joint machine, the last 2 joints will be ignored. set speed dobotconnection Updates the speed in percentage of your machine, some machines allow values in excess of 100% set toolhead dobotconnection Moves the machines toolhead into the given coords using joint motion, only works on 6 axis machines set width dobotconnection Updates the width of the DH Robotics gripper start drag dobotconnection enables drag mode on the robot arm, allowing you to move it by hand and recording or savings positions stop drag dobotconnection disables drag mode on the robot arm update jog dobotconnection Moves the machine in the given direction relative to the current position. When you're using a 4 joint machine, the last 2 joints will be ignored. JOG is updated in teaching mode, at slower speeds thus. use number float Use the float which was previously defined by a define reference
