Hello,

I want to write a python script where the end effector device will be running on Arduino and its functions (start/stop) are dependent on the coordinates of the robotic arm. Their communication has to be two-way. Can I use RoboDK for this purpose or should I go for the Jaka's python SDK? I am very new to this, therefore, very overwhelmed and confused.

Thanks

Yes, you should be able to use RoboDK for this. You could have a Python script running in a loop and checking the current position (such as the XYZ coordinates of the tool pose with respect to the robot base), and send a signal to the robot controller when to stop. You should use the driver for this purpose.

What do you mean by the end effector device running on Arduino?

The device which will be attached to the robotic arm is a heating device consisting of multiple parts. All of the parts must start/stop based on certain coordinates. These will be controlled by the Arduino and Arduino will plug into the robot's communication box. Please let me know if I can clarify further.
