can you run more that one arm through one computer/flowarm ie a conveyor assembly line set up. Or do you have to run multiple computers one for each arm. Thanks dave
Hi Dave,
Yes, you can. You will need to run multiple instances of FlowArm PLTW to do so. Each instance of FlowArm will connect to a different robotic arm.
The easiest way to get started would be to open Device Manager (under Control Panel) and expand the category called Ports (COM & LPT).
Then, connect the USB cable of each SSC-32U/AL5D one by one, noting down the COM port numbers as the new “Serial Port (COM??)” devices show up.
This way, you will know which COM port is tied to which robotic arm.
To be honest, we never really control 2 or more arms this way, but we do not see any reasons why it would not work.
Sincerely,
