Beginner, error checking

Hello,

I dont know If there is any debugger tool for the AS language. It should be better If KIDE would have in the future a syntax check.

You wrote correctly.

Variable = DX(position)

Usually i wrote the program in notepad++ having a plugin for the AS function and If there are any mistakes while loading the user has 2 options: delete that line or comment that line.

Welcome to the forum...……….

The DX command can be used to return the 'x' component of a transform location.

DY and DZ commands respectfully return the 'y' and 'z' components in the same way eg:

x_value = DX(location).

y_value = DY(location).

z_value = DZ(location).

This command ONLY obtains what is currently stored as the stipulated component and defines the value to the variable you stipulate.

This value is stored as a decimal real number and carries no unit/magnitude.

You can also use the DECOMPOSE command to create an array of ALL components associated with a transform or a precision point.

(Usually this is better, as you then have all the data associated with the given location).

DECOMPOSE tmp[0] = location

DECOMPOSE tmp[0] = #location

Once you have obtained the information, then adjustments to the values, or complete rewriting of the values can be achieved.

In order to change ANY location or component of a location, you need to use a variation of the POINT command.

So what you have written with the DECOMPOSE instruction is close to being correct, but syntactically needs refining.

From what you have mentioned, you are just trying to replace the existing 'x' component of the target location with the value entered from the HMI.

x.val.hmi = 500

POINT .tmp_location = target_location

DECOMPOSE .tmp[0] = .tmp_location

POINT .tmp_location = TRANS(x.val.hmi,.tmp[1],.tmp[2],.tmp[3],.tmp[4],.tmp[5])

POINT target_location = .tmp_location

The above example is just showing you how to use the local variable as a workflow example.

You could just have:

x.val.hmi = 500

DECOMPOSE .tmp[0] = target_location

POINT target_location = TRANS(x.val.hmi,.tmp[1],.tmp[2],.tmp[3],.tmp[4],.tmp[5])

When using local variables, you need to declare them first either by using a global variable, or a constant and then refer to them within the instruction.

What you wrote would have created 'undefined variable' errors.

DO LMOVE possition and the robot must be in repeat mode without any program in stack memory.

For the position location in order to view it, you can type in the terminal or keyboard list /l location
