Specify target joint angle to move to in Python

#1

Is there a way to specify what angle I want a joint to move to, the same way you can do it for XYZ coordinates?

e.g for XYZ in pyhton it is:

dll.SetPlaybackBufferCmd.argtypes = [POINTER(PlaybackBufferCmd)]
playbackCmd = PlaybackBufferCmd()
playbackCmd.x = 250
dll.SetPlaybackBufferCmd(byref(playbackCmd))

How do I do this for joints? something like:

playbackCmd.joint1Angle = 45

???

Thanks!

Hi ,
you can refer to the demo from our official website ( http://www.dobot.cc/download-center/dobot-magician.html )

Or the related information from blookly or script from Dobot Studio .

Hi!
Does this apply to Dobot v1?

Thanks

Hi again,

Yes I’ve looked there, that is where got the code for my initial post. It does not say anything about joint values as far as I can see, could you show me some example code for specifying target joint angles in python?

thanks

In the API and developing examples PDF it shows how to do it for target coordinate values:

it does not say how to do it for target joint angles.

dtype.SetPTPCmd(4,ang1,ang2,ang3,ang4,1) works for target joint angle in python.

Awesome! Is there a similar method in the interface to get the current angles of the 4 joints? Sorry, I’ve been having trouble figuring this out. Thanks
