Preparation before you begin
-
Make sure the robotic arm is connected to the computer
-
Make sure the machine is normal
-
Make sure the machine is power on
Grippers include adaptive grippers, electric grippers and pneumatic grippers. Here we take the adaptive gripper as an example to explain how to use myBlockly to control the gripper.
How to use myBlockly to control the adaptive gripper attached to the myCobot 320 M5Stack robotic arm
-
Method module 1:
Set gripper status
-
Parameter introduction:
This module has two parameters that can be adjusted:
- Clamp status parameter: 1 indicates the clamp claws closed state, 0 indicates the clamp claws open state
- Speed parameter: indicates the speed at which to rotate, the value range is 0~100
- Clamp type parameter: select adaptive clamp here
-
Purpose: Make the gripper enter the specified state (open or closed) at a specified speed
-
Method module 2:
Set the value of the gripper
-
Parameter introduction:
This module has two parameters that can be adjusted:
- The parameter of the gripper value: indicates the position that the gripper wants to reach, and the value range is 0~100.
- Speed parameter: indicates the speed at which to rotate, the value range is 0~100.
- Clamp type parameter: select adaptive clamp here
-
Purpose: Make the gripper rotate to a specified position at a specified speed.
-
Method module 3:
Is the gripper in motion
-
Purpose: To determine whether the gripper is running
The graphics code is as follows:
-
Implementation content:
Move joint 2 of the robotic arm to 30 degrees at a speed of 50. After two seconds,
The gripper opens at a speed of 70. After two seconds,
The gripper close at speed 70,
After the process of opening and closing the gripper is cycled 5 times, the program ends.
Note:
If you can't control the girpper from the above example, maybe you need to set the gripper mode
And run the program
