Cool! I will give it a try. Thanks!

Hi all,

I'm looking for a guide or documentation on how G-code is converted to KRL. My goal is to control an extruder via PWM using an Arduino board. I assume that I need to generate a signal from the KRC5 controller, which the Arduino will read and convert accordingly.

Does anyone have experience with this or know of any useful resources? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi all,
Does anyone know if it's possible lo 'unlock' the Kuka motors so we can move the robot arm without power?
Thanks in advance!

Cool! I seem to have missed it.
thanks!

Thanks Johannes! You don't have by chance a picture or diagram of the ground connections? It is a bit unclear on the PDF....

Hello all,
This may sound like a very stupid question, but do you know if there's a startup guide for a Kuka robot? Like, literally what to do after unboxing it?
I came across a video that couldn't start the robot because some cables in the control box were disconnected and I'm afraid I'll miss something simple as that.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks!

hi all,

for what I understand the standard procedure to calibrate a base is:

1) get the base data from the robot
2) input the base information to the PRC component (or as a frame)
3) the base will be set at 0,0,0 and the robot will move to another location

I guess this is fine except when working with inclined planes, as the robot will rotate to keep the plane flat, and everything will look weird in the simulation
.
My question is, is it possible to set the base as a frame while keeping the robot always at 0,0,0 in Rhino?

thanks in advance!
