VB and the development of wizards / Arduino output as a input for mach3
« on: December 25, 2016, 09:43:12 AM »
I am constructing a robot arm to choose a red golfball from a group of golfballs of different colors. The balls are in a balanced que, the lowest always ready for the arm"fork " to come and fetch and deliver the ball based on the valid color knowledge from adruino to the waist baset or the red basket.
When used mach3 together with Adruino I can get in Adruduino output the color value 0-256 and in case of 170-256 the arm should "understand", that the present ball belongs to the red basket and react accordingly. In less that 170 values, the arm should turn abit more, to the next waistbasket. My question is, is there anyway howto feed the Adrino output value to gcode and how to maniulate, teach the gcode to react accodingly.
As You can see on my text, I am an ret basic school teacher and understand the coding less than my pupils used to know the difference between the alpabeths...
