Preparation before use

Before using the Python API, please make sure that the following hardware and environment are ready:

• Hardware Equipment

  • ultraArm P1 robotic arm
  • USB-Type-C serial cable (used to connect the robot arm and computer)
  • Power adapter

• Software and Environment

  • Python 3.6 and above installed
  • ultraArm_P1_lib library installed (installed via pip install ultraArm_P1_lib terminal command)
  • Make sure ultraArm P1 is properly powered on and in standby mode

Pump Control

This section mainly explains the use of controlling the suction pump.

Example Usage

import time
from ultraArm_P1_lib import UltraArmP1

ua = UltraArmP1('COM3', 1000000) # Serial port connection and communication

# Suction pump - suction
def open_pump():
    ua.set_pump_state(0)
    time.sleep(0.05)

# Suction pump - blowing
def pump_blow_air():
    ua.set_pump_state(1)
    time.sleep(0.05)

# Suction pump - closing
def close_pump():
    ua.set_pump_state(2)
    time.sleep(0.05)

# Suction pump repeats work twice
for i in range(2):
    open_pump()
    time.sleep(3)
    pump_blow_air()
    time.sleep(1)
    close_pump()
