I searched this forum but couldn't find an answer. I want to send a programm to the dobot but it won't response. I connected the dobot by COM3. When I click move joints it moves once. But a example programm only works in simulation. The dobot self won't move. Any answers about this?

Have you tried updating the dobot magician's firmware?

Hi. I search on the forum but i don't find information about communication with Dobot Magician.
I can connect the dobot with COM, communication ready, but when i send the program, the robot don't move, and on the log it's ok.
I post any logs and pictures about the station on robodk.
When i try to send or get the position, it moves all the time to position home.
Could you have an answer about this ?
Python version 3.10. The program execute well on the station robodk. The problem is when i want to transfert it.

By default, a program created with the RoboDK API will run on the simulator.
If you want to run a python program into the physical robot, you need to set runmode to robolink.RUNMODE_RUN_ROBOT.

OK, thanks. I write it in my program : RDK.setRunMode(run_mode=6)
When i execute the program, the only movement executed by the robot, is to go "Home". Nothing else.
I don't understand why the program doen't execute. Do you have an other idea ?

Are you sure you are running your program?

When you connect to the Dobot Magician it probably moves to the home location.

What program are you executing? If you can send us the RoboDK project file we may be able to better help you.

Yes i think it's my program which is executing....I send you the station RoboDK and the program python.
Thank you for your attention to my problem

You should connect to the robot before running any movements by triggering the Connect. Example:

Code:

robot = RDK.Item('Dobot Magician')
robot.Connect()

Calling Connect automatically changes the run mode.

If you still have issues, can you share the robot connection log?

[celine]

OK the robot is connecting well, but the program doesn't execute.
Everything is ok on the simulation, the robot is connected, but the real robot doesn't move.
I have the last installation of RoboDK. Is the dobotdriver update recently ?
I forward the log.

[Albert]

This is very strange... The robot should move.

Is the program executed quickly and log provided immediately? Or is it moving on the simulation only but not the real robot? If you can provide us with a video of how you run the program we may be able to help you better.
