AL5D Python vector questions

Hello,

I am new to AL5D and looking for guidance on using Python to control my AL5D…
There is a Python project at GitHub github.com/thefekete/robotarm , not much activity there so hoping I can get some responses here.

1st question, from that project,
[size=2][font=Arial][highlight=#ffffff]in the al5x.py, t[/highlight][highlight=#ffffff]here are 3 rows, each rows have 3 values what do the values translate to, What is the value of each row for?[/highlight]
[highlight=#ffffff]AL5D_HD = ([0.0, 0.0, 5.75],[/highlight]
[highlight=#ffffff][0.0, 7.38, 0.0],[/highlight]
[highlight=#ffffff][0.0, 3.5, 0.0])[/highlight][/font][/size]

2nd, how can I slow down the movement of the AL5? I have tried reducing avg_speed value but it had no affect.

Thanks everyone!

Hi,

Interesting project. Please post more about it if you are able to make use of it!

As for your questions, a quick look at al5x.py reveals that the arrays contain the lengths of the joints of the arm, probably used for inverse kinematic calculations.
