Programming

    I am programming paint robots with logic instead of 500 points. I have good logic already but I think it could still be better. Every part we spray is round, so we use circular motion. If I wanted to use the same program and be able to enter the diameter of the part as a register, based off of the starting point....How would I calculate that to be able to translate for positioning?? I feel like there has to be a way!? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :smiling_face:

    Lets say the circle is on the X, Y plane and has a radius of 10 mm.


    Point = (X, Y):


    P1 = (0, 10)

    P2 = (10, 0)

    P3 = (0, -10)

    P4 = (-10, 0)


    Now if you want to change the starting point then just offset the points above by the starting point.


    Again this assumes the circle is always in the same plane.
