Effectors
Some of the most notable ones are: Suction cup and Gripper
Both of these are controlled exaclty the same way. Let's see how to use them.
Suction cup
INFO
Please check with manual that you have plugged the effector into the correct port.
Suction cup is a simple effector that can be used to pick up small objects by creating a vacuum.
python
import os
from dobotapi import Dobot
bot = Dobot()
bot.connect()
bot.suction_cup.suck() # Enable the suction cup
os.system("pause") # Wait for the user to press any key
bot.suction_cup.idle() # Disable the suction cup
bot.close() # Properly close the connection, also disables the suction cup
Gripper
INFO
Please check with manual that you have plugged the effector into the correct port.
Gripper is a simple effector that grabs items by squeezing them.
python
import os
from dobotapi import Dobot
bot = Dobot()
bot.connect()
bot.gripper.open() # Open the gripper
os.system("pause") # Wait for the user to press any key
bot.gripper.close() # Close the gripper
os.system("pause") # Wait for the user to press any key
bot.gripper.idle() # Return the gripper to idle
bot.close() # Properly close the connection, also returns the gripper to idle
