Thank you Johannes, I will look into that and will start working with the GitHub code you provided. Thank you so much for all your help!

Johannes,

Yes, I have some experience with .NET/VisualStudio. I have been able to get the robot to stop it's movement when the button is pressed, that is not the issue I'm facing. I'm trying to get the robot to determine the boundaries of an object and then move to known locations within those boundaries.

Dear Johannes,

Unfortunately I currently do not have access to KUKA mxAutomation or KUKA EthernetKRL. Would it be possible to do it without them or should I look into acquiring one of the above mentioned software before proceeding?

Thank you

Good morning,

I'm trying to get the arm to detect an object and create its outline virtually based on the position of the tool tip (detecting by button touches). Is it possible to use the current position of the tool tip to generate virtual boundaries within kukaprc?

Thank you for any help!

Thank you so much for all your help Johannes, I greatly appreciate it!!!

That is precisely what I'm trying to do! How did you make this work without setting the "Orient Point" for the "Orient Plane" block. When I try to recreate your program for my own program, I get an error when I leave the "Orient Point" blank.

Good afternoon,

I'm currently trying to get my KR 3 R540 with KR C4 compact to touch multiple sides of a cube. I'm doing this with a cylindrical tool and I need the tool to be flush with the side it's trying to reach. I've been able to get it to work with a single side by changing the tool axis rotation to -90 degrees in the custom tool block. I'm not sure how I can continue changing this without creating multiple separate programs. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can change the angle of my tool tip throughout a single program?

Thanks for the help!

The custom KRL component worked great. It seems much easier to implement than the python variation. Thank you so much for your help Johannes!

I'm trying to get the arm to move until it reaches an object, which will be indicated by a digital input through a button press. I thought I could get the looped movement via a python loop that takes input from the digital input (see screenshot). The SRC file produced by grasshopper only has the PTP movements in it and seems to omit the digital input and the python script. The SRC file is attached as well.

Good afternoon,

I have recently started testing our kuka|prc (Community edition) and have discovered python scripting. I have tried to implement some simple scripts into my grasshopper project and have gotten no errors on that end. However, the KRL produced by the project does not include any of my python scripts, making the simulation and final product rather different. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your help.
