Dobot robots

Enable a Dobot arm, read its joints and coordinates, move it, and clear its alarms.

Blocks

Add these blocks on the canvas by searching for their name. Each block page lists its pins and how it behaves.

• clear alarms dobotconnection_clear_alarms Clears all the active alarms on the machine
• close connection dobotconnection_close closes the active connection with the machine, freeing up the occupied connection.
• disable dobotconnection_disable Disables the machine
• enable dobotconnection_enable Enables the machine
• get coordinate systems dobotconnection_get_coordinate_system grabs the current coordinate systems from the machine
• get coordinates dobotconnection_get_joints 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_get_serial grabs the current serial of the machine.
• get speed dobotconnection_get_speed grabs the current speed of the machine.
• get status dobotconnection_get_status grabs the current status of the machine.
• move to safe point dobotconnection_goto_safe_point Moves the machine to the preconfigured safe home position at the current speed
• local devices dobotconnection_local_devices Retrieves the local devices and their connection information
• set coordinates dobotconnection_move_joint 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 toolhead dobotconnection_move_toolhead Moves the machines toolhead into the given coords using joint motion, only works on 6 axis machines
• open connection dobotconnection_open Opens a new dobot connection, make sure to close it. A machine only allows a single active automation.
• set relative movement dobotconnection_rel_move_joint_user 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 digital output dobotconnection_set_digital_output Updates the machines digital output so the given status, can be queued by time range in milliseconds
• set speed dobotconnection_set_speed Updates the speed in percentage of your machine, some machines allow values in excess of 100%
• start drag dobotconnection_start_drag_mode enables drag mode on the robot arm, allowing you to move it by hand and recording or savings positions
• stop drag dobotconnection_stop_drag_mode disables drag mode on the robot arm
• enable DH Gripper dobotconnection_tool_set_dh_gripper Enables the end tool to be compatible with the DH Robotics Grippers
• set width dobotconnection_tool_set_dh_gripper_width Updates the width of the DH Robotics gripper
• update jog dobotconnection_update_jog 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.
