Switch between scripts

#1

I can not switch between two python scripts in two sensors. when I use output signals of robot arm as flags it does not work.
I am using while app.simulation.IsRunning == true statement.
unless i use a delay statement after it, the program breaks down
Any Help?

#2

delay(0) might help
delay(0) might help

#3

Just tried it but still does not work @titu

Ok how about you use a boolean signal instead of while app.simulation.IsRunning == true statement.

Are the two scripts within the same component or is it separate components?

#5

They are in two different components. I tried using output signals of the robot as flags and using if condition to run each script but the if condition is never true.
For example: if robot.signalout.output(111, True):
and i set it to true before the if condition but still the condition is never true

#6

I have No experience with this. What Happens if you try to realize with two boolean Signals?

i tried two flags but got the same result, the condition is never true

#8

Try something like:

If (robot.signalout.output(111) == True):

Isn’t the syntax you use for setting the signal?

Have a look at this thread: Hiding components with Python scripting in VC

Still doesn’t work. I am really thankful for your help anyways.
The robot signals i’m using 111 and 112 are not connected to anything in the robot’s signal maping. I am just setting them to true before the if condition and then check the condition.

robot_comp = app.findComponent("IRB 4600-45/2.05")
 robot = getRobot(robot_comp)
 robot.SignalMapOut.output(111, True)
 while app.Simulation.IsRunning== True:
  delay(0.1)
  if(robot.SignalMapOut.output(111, True)):
   #start by getting the part

Could this be the problem?

Is your while-loop in the OnRun Method of the Script?

#11

yes all of my code is in the OnRun() method.

#12

Have you tried this?

#13

Actually I am using the vcHelpersRobot2 library so i used
if(robot.signalMapOut.output(111,True)):
but still didnot work

#14

As I mentioned I don’t use this, maybe an Error or faulty Code…

Try it with normal boolean Signals in combination with triggerCondition or Post your layout!?

#15

it worked thank you!
Also do you know if it is possible to pick multiple objects at the same time using python API?

#16

I’m happy to hear that! :grin:

There are different ways to do that, depending on the circumstances…

@captain_feature For instance, i want my sensor to stop when it counts two boxes. And then the robot picks the two boxes and places them on another conveyor.

#18

Implement a counterVariable, when this is <2 reset it and grad the desired parts?

#19

yes, my problem is h ow to grab multiple parts using python

Did you search in the forum? Did you check academy or sample layouts?

By the way this is another topic?
