Joint control

For a serial multi-joint robot, the joint control is to control the variables of each joint of the robot arm so as to make each joint reaches a target position at a certain speed.

1 Single joint control

1.1 Sending the angle of single joint

WriteAngle(Joint joint, double value, int speed = DefaultSpeed)
Return value: no parameter
parameter description: Parameter 1: joint number (1-6) Parameter 2: angle ( -170°- 170° ) Parameter 3: speed ( 0-100 ), the example with 30 as a default
example:
mycobot::MyCobot::I().WriteAngle(mycobot::Joint::J1, 10, 30);

2 Multi-joint control

2.1 Get the angles of all joints

GetAngles()
Return value: Angles type
parameter description: no example:
mycobot::Angles angles= mycobot::MyCobot::I().GetAngles();

2.2 Send the angles of all joints

WriteAngles(const Angles& angles, int speed = DefaultSpeed)
Return value: no
parameter description: Parameter 1: all angles (std::array, ranging from -170° to 170°) Parameter 2: speed ( 0-100 ), the example with 30 as a default

mycobot::Angles goal_angles = { 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5 };
mycobot::MyCobot::I().WriteAngles(goal_angles, 30);
mycobot::Angles goal_angles = { 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5 };
mycobot::MyCobot::I().WriteAngles(goal_angles, 30);
