The VC version I am currently using is Delfoi 4.2.
I am currently programming a robot and I need to use the setbase command to make the robot shift and move based on the xyz coordinates.
However, only x,y,z,rx,ry,rz are displayed in the setbase field. Is there a way to shift and move the positioner as well?
Hello,
In reality and VC, setBase should only be done for robot jobs, which is normal, if you have additional control of external axes, you can write a separate control program or some other practice of driving motors.
If you’re referring to VC action scripts and IK, no, you don’t need to do any of that, you just need to make sure the addon it has its own joints. In fact, there are various ways to do it, you can use either process or python to do it, you mentioned that you want to feed values to the addon joints from somewhere else right? I’m not sure if Delfoi 4.2 has OLP functionality (I don’t think so, as it seems to have been added by the VC ontology?) In VC, there is OLP functionality for robots and add-ons, and the add-on axes can be easily set up just by connecting to the robot, including easier setup of movement and such in the working state.
If not, of course it can be done, you just need to associate your input values with the joint values of the localizer, whether it’s python or process, python can connect the values directly, process can control the axes.
Not sure if any of this helps with your part as these are my VC based experiences, hope it works for you.
