Hi Panic mode.

Yes, the drives and the robot works.

I did a calibration and I can JOG the robot in JOINT, XYZ space from the Teach Pendant (T/B).

It does respond to external inputs from the PC but is unable to perform the commands

echo -e -n '1;1;EXECPCOSIROP = (0,0,0,0,90,0) (6,0)\r' > /dev/ttyUSB0

echo -e -n '1;1;EXECMVS PCOSIROP\r' > /dev/ttyUSB0

the responses are

QeR510000000

QeR510000000

I had also set the Key on the T/B to Disable and the Key on the CR 571 controller to AUTO(EXT).

regards,

Mike

Hi all,

I would like some help on controlling a RV-2AJ robot arm via PC using RS 232.

I am able to send commands from a Linux terminal such as:

echo -e -n '1;1;CNTLON\r' > /dev/ttyUSB0

echo -e -n '1;1;SRVON\r' > /dev/ttyUSB0

echo -e -n '1;1;PPOSF\r' > /dev/ttyUSB0

and receive responses such as:

QoK

QoK

QoKX;370.20;Y;0.98;Z;359.63;A;3.73;B;91.93;;6,0;100;0.00;00000000

But, for commands

echo -e -n '1;1;EXECPCOSIROP = (0,0,0,0,90,0) (6,0)\r' > /dev/ttyUSB0

echo -e -n '1;1;EXECMVS PCOSIROP\r' > /dev/ttyUSB0

the responses are

QeR510000000

QeR510000000

I am not sure how to proceed.

Do I have to create a program on the controller and THEN the PC can interact ?

there doesn't seems to be documentation for EXECPCOSIROP.

How do I command the arm to move in x,y,z using WHAT commands?

Any help is greatly appreciated !

thanks and regards,

Mike.
