Can I connect the ps2 version4 robotshop.com/ca/en/usb-ps2-robot.html will only be used with the lynxmotion free sequencer, through the USB cable/PS2.
please check the attached picture illistrating the module and inside primtive with PS2 assignment bottons, lso let me know if I should do any links between these primitives so I can assign botton to different function.
Thanks
Hi,
The PS2 v4 can be used with FlowBotics Studio in general (through the PS2 controller primitive) and you can find examples of its use with the sequencer (very basic) and arm (more detailed) apps with a PS2 <-> USB adapter, such as the RB-All-96. We just tested this new this new adapter recently and it works well with all of the above mentioned apps.
In the “arm” app, go into the “User Programming” section where you can find detailed example wiring. See more details here:
Sincerely,
I would like to use this with humanoid robot, I am was looking at editing the PS2 primitive of the sequencer to have the ps2 control robot, is that still basic ?
It is of moderate difficulty. You will need to learn how the PS2 control block/page (under User Programming) uses signals to control the sequencer. There are two ways to do it in the examples, one basic one that simply does start/stop/play/reset and a 2nd one that does motions on specific servomotors (arm FBS app).
Also, if you wish to play specific patterns/sequences on certain button presses, this is totally doable, but again, will require modifying the code that interacts with the sequencer. Also, if you are mid-sequence when you make a change, you may want to reset motion to have a stable form, first (prevent the robot from falling, etc.). You can imagine how this can become complex quickly.
Okay thanks, I guess will stick with controlling the robot from pc as a starter.
