Is it possible to make the auto move with a certain speed

Dear Michael, The short answer is "yes, it is possible to control the speed directly". There are many ways to do what you asked, so I will provide one method in the context of the position control examples that we provide on our Sample Custom Tasks download section . In the position control examples that we provide, position controllers are used to directly control the movement of the robot. The movement is specified by a trajectory, which is a series of positions over a given duration. These examples create trajectories that have a bell-shaped velocity profile which is specified by a duration and distance (i.e. there is an implicit velocity). However, that trajectory could also be specified by a peak-velocity and distance, for example. The following code defines the trajectory in the position controller sample: • trajectory_shape = tick/duration-sin(2*pi*tick/duration)/(2*pi); • virt_pos[1] = start_pos[1] + (final_pos[1] - start_pos[1]) * trajectory_shape; Differentiating the virt_pos gives: • Velocity = (final_pos[1] - start_pos[1]) / duration * (1 - cos(2*pi*tick/duration) ) The peak velocity will occur when tick/duration = 0.5 • Peak_Velocity = (final_pos[1] - start_pos[1]) / duration * 2 Re-arranging gives: • duration = 2 * (final_pos[1] - start_pos[1]) / Peak_Velocity Therefore, you could use the position controller sample code as in the examples, specify a desired peak velocity (e.g. in your Task Protocol) and then calculate the duration associated with that Peak_Velocity and feed that into the code.

Hi, The best way to diagnose what the model is doing is to use the xpc scopes (scopes are described in Section 7.5 of our Custom Task Programming user for 3.6). I would put a scope on each of the desired position inputs (x and y) to double check that the inputs are correct. I also would recommending using the KINdata_bus From tag and use scopes to read some of the values there to see what the model is doing. In a typical setup, where the robot computer and Dexterit-E computer share a keyboard, video and mouse, the KVM switch will need to be used to switch the monitor to view the robot computer (e.g. double tap to switch which computer is viewed on the monitor). On the robot computer screen you will see what your scopes are outputting. When you connect the KINdata_bus From tag to a Bus Selector component and double click the Bus Selector, you will be able to choose from a host of data that you will be able to read on a scope. This includes the x and y velocities, the commanded forces, as well as the x and y acceleration. You can check that against your math and see if what's happening is what you expected to happen.
