SearchL with No Sensor

Robot Controller
1

Is there a way to use the SearchL command without a sensor. I would like to monitor servo feedback and use that as the trigger rather than a sensor.

I’ve done something similar before. If you have Multitasking you can create a background task that sets a virtual output. Cross connect that output to a virtual input and use the input in your SearchL.

Hi David,

Thanks for the response. What is the feedback coming from that we set the virtual output with? Is there a servo feedback variable that I can look at?

I thought you had an external servo. If you mean you want to monitor a robot axis you could read the current torque of an axis with function GetMotorTorque().

Perfect! Thank you for the help!! I’ll give it a try.
