In manual mode (recommended), click production window tab on the flexpendent menu and click "pp to main". And after executing the path in step 4, the robot controller should receive points in the trajectory. Once the power is turned on and robot controller is connected to the desktop through ethernet cable, a 'connected' message should showup on both end (after completing step 2 above). make sure the robot is at the homeposition, and click update. To calibrate, simply go to the Calibration tab on the flexpendent and click "Update Rev Conuters". Here are some tips on operating the ABB robot on the flexpendent Robot Calibrationĭue to some unknown battery related failure, our IRB120 robot requires calibration everytime after reboot, thus it is convenient to always have the robot return to homeposition before power off. The laser_control_model subfolder shows the code stored in the arduino, and the pyarduino subfolder includes python scripts for testing.Ĭlone this git repo locally, setup catkin workspace, and source the path
#Abb robotstudio controlled by matlab serial#
src/Laser_Control_Module is the serial communication packet that enable laser activation from computer, given by Benjamin Gillette. src/moveit folder includes the c++ file for moveitNavigation node, this is the program that communicates with matlab and send goals to the robot joint trajectory. src/matlab_codes folder hosts all the matlab functions and scripts, and this is the folder that needs to be set as 'current folder' in matlab. src/abb_irb120_moveit_config is a MoveIt! configuration file auto-generated by launching the moveit_setup_assistant wizard. Xacro was used to simplify the coding process and it can use terminal commands such as $ rosrun xacro xacro -inorder model.xacro > model.urdf to convert xacro to urdf file. src/irb120_description includes the STL mashes for the robot model and URDF file that defiles the connectin among robot links.
#Abb robotstudio controlled by matlab drivers#
src/abb_driver folder includes ABB ROS drivers that enables communication with the ABB robot through ROS, see abb_drivers for more information or version updates. Others folder is for online backup and displaying image only, no need to clone for project development.
