How do we use the pulse width data in RIOS?

Hello.
I’ve the position and the vector coordinates of the gripper, and i use the methods of MGI & MGD to calculate the theta(degree) of each joints of the arm AL5C. And now, my teacher let me to convert the degree data to the pulse width data(90 degree -> 1500).I tought that he means that put the pulse-width datas in the RIOS,(maybe writing the pw data to a file, and using RIOS to read this file to make the arm working). But i haven’t seen any information in the document of RIOS to realize this except the “Basic Export”. So i think i can change the context of the file of .BAL(Basic Export file), but how can i use this file?
And i’ve seen another information in the other document of <<Manual written for firm ware Range is 0.50ms to 2.50ms>> .And in this documentation, the artical “Updating the SSC-32 firmware” shows that “allow u to browse and open the new*.abl firmware file”.
What should i do? I’ve no idea at all. I am so anxiety
Thanks to reply my question!!

Hi,

I’ve no experience with RIOS, only Visual SEQ. But it looks like they both have the export/import function. Take a look at page 18 in the RIOS manual. You can import new sequences/projects stored in a .csv file. I did the same thing when exporting and importing .csv files using a Excel sheet called PEP. PEP is used for creating unique sequences for a hexapod. I believe you could do the same for an arm.

EDIT:
I think that RIOS take care of the deg -> pwm conversion.
…And don’t mess with the .abl files they are for firmware updates. :wink:

I know that, but in the .csv file, there are not the pulse-width format data. But i need to use the pw format data

May I ask why?
I assume RIOS are taking care of the pwm to deg conversion.

But i need the “turn - inverse” :frowning:

Do you mean “3000 - angle” to invert the direction? Isn’t there a bit (RIOS parameter) for that?

I believe you mean 3000 - pwm value, Alan… :wink:
Reversing is solved in the SSC32 config, page 5 in the manual.

Hi Kåre,

Yeah, that’s what I meant. And I was hoping to get through the year without making any mistakes! ;>)

Happy New Year!

Happy new Year to you too Alan!
It wasn’t a very big mistake though :wink:

Oh, that is not my problem…

Would you mind explaining a bit more what your problem is then?
