Re: How to work around snapshot position calibration pose problems

@T800_412 The following function will allow offsetting a calibration in a program snapshot_position_offset = p[x,y,z,rx,ry,rz] For example, the following will offset the calibration 100MM+ in the X direction from the robot base snapshot_position_offset = p[0.1,0,0,0,0,0] This function should be used with the ignore_snapshot_position=True function This means you can calibrate a snapshot position and teach a part beside the production location, then offset it to the desired position. Note that this will affect precision and is working only for x,y,z variation. Any rotation of Rx,Ry,Rz won't be affected.

Re: Compatibility with Polyscope 3.7?

Hello @mkardasinski, we have not tested it yet. I don't recommend updating PolyScope until Robotiq releases an officially compatible URCap.

Insights URCap Release: Communication Issue Fixed

Hi Pros, On August 27, 2018, Robotiq released updated Insights URCaps (UCI-1.2.3, for PolyScope 3.5 and UCI-1.3.2, for PolyScope 3.6 and later versions). - The URCap interface is now multilingual (English, Spanish, German, French, Simplified Chinese, Japanese). - The connection address to the cloud computing servers used by Robotiq for the provision of the Insights services (a3eixic4y0qe7i.iot.us-east-1.amazonaws.com) is replaced by aws-iot-prod.robotiq.com. - Data going through TCP port 8883 is rerouted to TCP port 443. (On August 21, 2018, a communication issue on TCP port 443 commanded Robotiq to redirect data through port 8883.) To download the URCaps: - Log in to the Insights website and click the Add Robot button, then select the Insights software corresponding to your setup OR - Browse to the Insights support page on the Robotiq website, and select the Insights software corresponding to your setup Regards,

Re: POPUP message

Hi @deepthinagella Here's a "how to" that explain how to acheive this : This “how to” demonstrates, how to create informational popups on the TP run-screen, without pausing program execution. Example: A popup to inform operator “Process A” have been started, and another to inform the robot is “Searching for item to pick up” The purpose is NOT to pause program execution, but only for information. If the wish is to pause program execution, and wait for operator acknowledgment, please refer to the regular Popup command in Structure tab. Informational popups can be send using the internal Dashboard server of the UR Controller. This “how to” will use script coding to send commands from UR program to internal Dashboard server. First, open a connection to Dashboard server. Should be first in the program or BeforeStart sequence. Use the script command: socket_open("127.0.0.1",29999,"internal") Where 127.0.0.1 is the default internal IP address of Dashboard server, 29999 is the port and “internal” is the name. Create a popup using this script: socket_send_string("popup The text I want","internal") socket_send_byte(10,"internal") Where “The text I want” is the message to be displayed, and byte 10 is a necessary “return” character. Kill the popup using these script lines: socket_send_string("close popup","internal") socket_send_byte(10,"internal")
