I am just jumping on here to get some early guidance on how to set up a connection between the Gofa Omnicore controller and an Arduino uno quo via ethernet. I am familiar with rapid and was just wondering what are thew actual settings that I need to configure as I have never connected vi ethernet before.
For starters I want to use Rapid code to send cmd’s via ethernet to turn on and off LED’s. I will be using the python side of the arduino, pretty much the same as using a rapsberry pi. I would be very grateful if I could be pointed in the right direction.
I hear that you want to communicate over Ethernet IP with Arduino, but if you just wanted to control LEDs, I’m curious why not just use direct I/O -does your GoFa have a digital I/O module?
I would like to grips with setting up Ethernet with the Arduino first, as I have plans for custom manipulators, actuators which would later be built with more advanced electronics than the Arduino but still use Ethernet.
One project would involve a steeper motor where I could send cms via a sockets to speed up and slow down reverse etc.
Ill be honest Ethernet is not my strongest area and looking for some professional guidance to give me a good foundation to start with.
I think it would be easier to use an Arduino with an Ethernet shield (hardwired) for this purpose, since WiFi adds some extra complexity. Or, I imagine you could use the Arduino Uno Q as is for something like Robot Web Services (RWS), which has a REST API… Either way, why not try to involve some AI coding help here? I’ve worked with Arduino and ABB robots a bit before, but not in this format. Good luck!
