Using Dobot Magician (Lite) on Linux through API


#1

Hey guys,
i read a lot of the topics here in the forum. And many of you have the same problem…
How to use the Dobot Demo? Im struggling with the same problem and i cant find a real step by step instruction.

My personal Questions are:
- Where should i copy which files/directories?
- Do i need to set a Special path?

My Setup:
Linux (Manjaro)
Using Python 3.5.0
System and Python on x64

Problem:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/user/Dobot_Python_3_5/demo-magician-python-64-master/DobotControl.py”, line 11, in
api = dType.load()
File “/home/user/Dobot_Python_3_5/demo-magician-python-64-master/DobotDllType.py”, line 595, in load
return cdll.loadLibrary(“libDobotDll.so”)
File “/usr/lib/python3.5/ctypes/init.py”, line 421, in getattr
dll = self._dlltype(name)
File “/usr/lib/python3.5/ctypes/init.py”, line 351, in init
self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
OSError: loadLibrary: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Process finished with exit code 1

I know some of you have done this yet. Maybe you can help newbies to get this done, too.
