Dobot M1: Python raw communication example

#1

Dear community and Dobot team

I’m searching the internet for a Python raw communication example, but didn’t find anything usable. Can anybody provide code for controlling a Dobot M1 through serial port using the raw protocol (including checksum calculation and some example commands). I found this: https://jacquesjohnston.wordpress.com/2019/01/29/communicating-with-the-dobot-magician-using-raw-protocol/
but it is for the magician…

Do the Dobot M1 and M400/Magician use the same protocol?

Thanks so much for you help!

I’m sure you can find what you’re looking for in our GitHub.

Thank you for the Link!

I’m looking for a way to interface the OLD M1 Dobot (not the M1 Pro). On your github I have only found a Matlab base example (https://github.com/Dobot-Arm/DobotLink-LabVIEW), which is not suitable for me. I’m looking for a python based example, that uses the raw serial port communication with the robot.

As far as I see the M1Pro has a different and extended interface over TCP/IP which I cannot use for the M1.

I found a python example for micro:bit and magician. (https://github.com/jmio/DOBOTMagician_BBCmicrobit/blob/main/microbit_dobot.py)
Do the magician and m1 share the same protocol?

thanks for any help
