hi… i need to trace curves using the forearm for my project … using matlab. any suggestions?
thanks !

Hi,
in case anyone is interested, the answer to my q is:
Matlab can be used by creating a serial port with it. Then send all your commands to the port. something like-

S=serial(‘COM1’, ‘BaudRate’, 115200,‘Terminator’,‘CR/LF’);
fopen(S)
fprintf(S,’#0P1500’)

So once you have figured out the sequence of commands to move the arm in a random curve or any other trajectory, its just a matter of sending the commands to the controller.

I haven’t used this program before, so I ordered the demo. Maybe it can be used to actually draw a 3D of the leg movements. Or arm movements in your case?

I have used Docklight, a terminal emulation program to capture the commands of the SEQ program and then hard code them into my controller program and EEPROM.

i’m not quite sure because i abandoned MATLAB pretty soon in favor of a ucontroller based solution which used C :slight_smile:
I think what MATLAB is good for though is performing inverse/forward kinematics very easily because it supports direct matrix multiplication. It also has good graphics capability but I don’t have much knowledge on the subject :frowning:
