3.6. Mechanical Arm

robotic_arm_ctrl.move(x, y, wait_for_complete=True)
Description:

Sets the relative movement position of the mechanical arm
Parameters:
  • x (int32) – Set the horizontal movement distance of the mechanical arm. A positive number indicates forward movement, and a negative number indicates backward movement. The accuracy is 1 mm.
  • y (int32) – Set the vertical movement distance of the mechanical arm. A positive number indicates upward movement, and a negative number indicates downward movement. The accuracy is 1 mm.
  • wait_for_complete (bool) – Whether to wait for execution to be completed. The default value is True.
Returns:

None
Example:

robotic_arm_ctrl.move(40, 50, True)
Example description:
 

Set the mechanical arm to move 20 mm forward and 30 mm upward, and wait for execution to be completed
robotic_arm_ctrl.moveto(x, y, wait_for_complete=True)
Description:

Sets the absolute coordinates of mechanical arm movement
Parameters:
  • x (int32) – Set the coordinates of horizontal arm movement, with an accuracy of 1 mm
  • y (int32) – Set the coordinates of vertical arm movement, with an accuracy of 1 mm
  • wait_for_complete (bool) – Whether to wait for execution to be completed. The default value is True.
Returns:

None
Example:

robotic_arm_ctrl.moveto(40, 50, True)
Example description:
 

Set the absolute coordinates of the mechanical arm to (x=40mm, y=50mm) and wait for the execution to be completed
robotic_arm_ctrl.get_position()
Description:Obtains the position of the mechanical arm
Parameters:void – None
Returns:The absolute coordinates of the mechanical arm, with an accuracy of 1 mm
Return type:An [x, y] list, where x and y are of int32 type
Example:[x, y] = robotic_arm_ctrl.get_position()
Example description:
 Obtain the absolute coordinates of the mechanical arm
robotic_arm_ctrl.recenter()
Description:Recenters the mechanical arm
Parameters:void – None
Returns:None
Example:robotic_arm_ctrl.recenter()
Example description:
 Recenter the mechanical arm
