Hi,
We are examining your issue and get back to you soon.
Sincerely,
hi,
to be more clear, my patern in composed with four frames, the first one takes the arm to a cistern, the second frame closes the gripper, the third frame takes the arm to another place, the last one opens the gripper.
I need my force sensing captor to be effective on the third frame. If the captor doesn’t feel the pressure of the cistern, the system stops.
Thank you
To provide a stop mechanism at a specific frame based on an external sensor value, you will need two things:
- A way to read the sensor value reliably. Since you are using a SSC-32U, there are a few analog inputs that can be used for that purpose. You will need to add a module to perform that and store the value as it changes. This can then be accessed as needed.
- A modification to the sequencer to take into account sensor values. This could be done during transitions between frames or even added as a new “frame type” that is placed between normal movement frames. This is a non trivial modification that will require you to look at the code for the sequencer in depth.
Sincerely,
Is there a tutorial that I can follow to help me or some examples?
You can find more information here. You can also have a look at the forum for more examples and questions/answers from other users in the RobotShop community.
Please note the frame sequencer provided in those FlowBotics Studio example apps is a complex set of modules and not the an easy project to modify. This will require time and effort, like any programming challenge.
There is not tutorial specifically for modifying the sequencer. Our best recommendation is to make a backup of the project, analyze the modules & code, make modifications and see how it goes. This will probably require quite a bit of trial & error.
Sincerely,
Maybe should I do my project on RIOS SSC 32, it would be much simpler to deal with the inputs won’t it?
Hi,
I succeded in the use of the sencor.
I want to ask you something else ( I am sorry, This is my first robotic project ) :
I also need to analyse the sreen of the machine with a webcam which will be related to the robot and the computer.
More precisly, There are numbers written on the screen of the machine, the webcam has to analyse this number and to write it in an excel table on the computer. The webcam also need to be connected to the electronic card because it needs ton give information to the robot according to the information on the screen of the machine.
( I already bought the Roborealm Vision Software )
Actually I want to connect the robot realm software to the RIOS SSC 32 software or to the electronic card to give information to the robot according to what the webcam see.
Thank you
Hi,
The RIOS software only supports a limited number of functions based on the external inputs, as seen in the RIOS manual. But, this is not recommended as RIOS support is very limited and external connections to other software is unstable at best. Please note no further updates/fixes to RIOS are planned so we recommend you use FlowBotics Studio instead to achieve sequencing with conditions/external input.
Sincerely,
Hi,
I have a problem of communication with the socket server on RIOS. When I use a XLM message in “cmd”, for example "<project_select>, in the log, there are some characters which shouldn’t be here. For exemple a “<” or a “41”
Is there a way to fix this problem of communication ?
thank you
Hi,
Fixing such communication issues would probably require an update to the software. As mentioned before, no further updates/fixes to RIOS are planned since it is a legacy software.
Sincerely,
I succeed in resolving those problems ( at least for the moment ) !
To play a project from an external software with the sockets, I first need to be in the “play” menu in RIOS. Is there a way to reach this “play” menu directly from my external software?
We are glad to learn you have resolved this issue.
Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a command to do this (that we know of).
Sincerely,
