laser sensor with ethernet communication

hey, guys,

i got a problem about laser sensor connection using ethernet. following the manual, i set up TCP/IP and client tag in host comm, and call a karel program to turn on/off the sesnor which is working well. however, when i try to use sensor on[1] command in TP program, the sensor does not response. is there anything need to be defined additionally?

best regards,

Chen

You need to provide more information. Which laser? Can you ping it from the robot? Could you post the Karel code? Are your ports setup correctly? Does the laser support a more common industrial protocol, so you don't have to roll your own?

hi Nation,

thanks for your reply.

i used FUJI CAM laser sensor, and the ping from robot was successful. the Karel code also works well with the sensor, which means that my TCP/IP and client tag setting should be correct.

however, the problem is actually mroe about using sensor on[] function in TP program. i assumed that sensor on command has same functionality as call Karel code to turn on the sensor. With the successful setting of TCP/IP and client tag, it seems that the connection of laser sensor and controller is created successfully, but the sensor on[] function still not work properly. do you happen to know the reason for that? is there any other setting missing for using those sensor on/off, search and track command in TP program ?

regards,

Chen
