Advice on small scale production line control


#1

Hi everyone,
For a project multiple Dobot products (magician on rail, magician, conveyor) need to work together to form a small production line. I was thinking of using a Raspberry Pi to do the timing of the equipment’s movement which would be pre-configured but need to happen when a certain sensor or a user says so. My question is, how would you go about doing that? I know Pydobot can be used to control Magicians from a Pi, maybe to send a Python script to the Magician or is there an easier way?
The production line mustn’t have a laptop connected to it.
Please keep in mind that I’m not experienced with the Dobot equipment :slight_smile:

Thank you in advance!
