ROB3/TR5 robotic arm
Interface with MATLAB
The latest version of the software (developed in house) can be found here: Media:Matlab rob3 tr5.zip
Application interface
- sp=serial_port_start()
- initializes the serial port, returning an object referencing it (sp)
- rob3_init(sp)
- initializes the arm, returning a (meaningless) integer
- rob3_move_joint(sp,n,x)
- moves joint n to angular position x
- rob3_move_joints(sp,v)
- moves all 6 joints to the positions defined by the vector v (1x6)
- rob3_read_joint(sp,n)
- reads the angular position of joint n, returning a vector [64+joint-1, position, 3]
- rob3_read_joints(sp)
- reads the angular position of all joints, returning a vector [71, position_1, ..., position_6, 3]
