Re: Stop command using Universal Robots
You can choose script from the advanced menu and then enter the command in the script line. It is case sensitive.

Re: Offsetting all waypoints in all programs on a UR robot
@Kaleb_Rodes I posted a blog post related to this topic as I have seen a lot of folks have this same issue, including myself when I first started doing more advanced stuff with UR programs. Here is a link to the post, https://blog.hirebotics.com/engineering/universal-robots-programming-feature-point-orientationKaleb_Rodes said:@matthewd92 @MarcAntoine_Lacasse I've used point features in the past and occasionally the robot would move to the point/location but not in the correct orientation. For example, say I created a feature point on the top surface of the table.. base and tool z-axis perpendicular to the surface. Now when moving to that point the robot would approach from the bottom side of the table.
Re: Integrating UR robot with sewing machine
@lmodena as the old adage goes, Anything is possible, just takes time and money.
The short answer is yes, its possible to use the analog signal from the robot to the sewing machine, this will probably take some sort of analog converter as I am sure that the sewing machine is probably operating on something other than 24VDC. Siemens makes some products for doing this I know and I am sure the other companies like AB and Murr do as well.
Controlling the signal from the UR so that end of arm travel speed dictates the analog signal will be a bit tricky, the TCP speed is available as a modbus register, registers 410-415 for each of the 3 axes (translation and rotation) in mm/s and mrad/s. You would need to use these registers to know the exact speed the robot is actually moving and then coordinate the proper analog signal.

Re: Universal Robot uptime??
I’m not aware of the time being available via RTDE, I looked at the docs again and all I see is the actual execution time but I’ve never queried that so not sure exactly what that is.
As as far as logs, the only place I know you can get them from the stream is via port 30001 and you have to decode the stream to get them.

Re: Trouble with Global Variables for Position
Well, I guess you can add my name to the list of getting burned by the equality sign/equals sign list....sheesh. I'm glad you said something though - I don't know that I've ever really thought or understood the difference.
Thanks for the help and the heads-up Matthew!

Re: Trouble with Global Variables for Position
That’s an interesting discovery, I’ll try to test that out. I’ve been doing some testing on both e-series and CB3 but haven’t encountered this issue. I’ll try changing my assignment to script

Re: Connecting to PC/Raspberry Pi via MODBUS
Have you created a modbus server on the pi? We’ve done modbus from a pi to the robot and a Robotiq gripper but we had to write the server to listen to events and be able to respond. The UR acts as a client in this regards.
Why not use a relay and just hook up hook up a configurable output from the robot to one of the inputs on the pi? Then a simple python program could listen for an input and send an email when it’s triggered. Could mount the pi directly inside the Ur control cabinet to make it easier

Re: 24VDC error on UR robot due to short in IO connections
Thank You! someone must have removed the 2 jumper wire 
this is the cause of why I am not getting 24vdc to the safety circuit.
