How can robot machine learning be realized with RoboDK API?

#11
(07-20-2023, 10:05 AM)Albert Wrote:You should be able to do both:
  1. Use one instance of RoboDK with multiple API connections (multiple instances of robolink). When you use the same instance of RoboDK, item pointers are exactly the same.
  2. Multiple instances of RoboDK running with one or more API connections each. Make sure you start RoboDK using the -NEWINSTANCE command line option so you open a new instance of RoboDK.

I chose the second method above.

However, although 3 RDKs corresponding to ports (20501, 20502, 20503) should have been started, 3 projects are added to the RDK corresponding to port (20500) which should not be used. I want to fix this bug.

In the code below three RDKs were created.
Code:
NUM_WORKERS = 3
robodk_executable_path = "/home/***/RoboDK/RoboDK-Start.sh"
for env_no in range(1, NUM_WORKERS+1):
api_port = 20500 + env_no
subprocess.Popen(["bash", robodk_executable_path, "-NEWINSTANCE", "-PORT", str(api_port)], stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL, stderr=subprocess.DEVNULL)
Next, I planned to add projects to each RDK with the code below, but all projects were added to the RDK of port (20500) which should not exist.
Code:
class RoboController:
def __init__(self, env_no, api_port) -> None:
self.env_no = env_no
self.api_port = api_port
self.RDK = Robolink(args=["-PORT=" + str(self.api_port),])
self.project_directory = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
self.RDK.AddFile(os.path.join(self.project_directory, "./rdk/Conveying.rdk"))
print(f"RDK.AddFile - RDK: {self.RDK}, API port: {self.api_port}" )
In the terminal display, it seems that projects have been added to the RDKs corresponding to the three ports. But as I wrote above, 3 projects are added to the RDK corresponding to port(20500).
Code:
(RoboController pid=1548973) RDK.AddFile - RDK: , API port: 20502
(RoboController pid=1548972) RDK.AddFile - RDK: , API port: 20501
(RoboController pid=1548974) RDK.AddFile - RDK: , API port: 20503

You should better use the port parameter available on the constructor. Example:
RDK = Robolink(port=20503)

This will make sure the Robolink instance also uses this port.

The port is also an environment variable set by RoboDK as ROBODK_API_PORT when a Python script is executed by RoboDK. This is handled automatically when this environment variable exists.

I thought I could start multiple RoboDKs by specifying the port. However, it seems that ports are assigned in the order RoboDK is started. By changing the starting number of "Port range" from '20500' to '20501' as attached, multiple RoboDKs were assigned ports '20501 to 20503'.

The -PORT argument is required when starting RoboDK if you want to specify the port. However, when you start RoboDK from the API it is better to use the port argument so the client API and RoboDK are both using the same port.

If you change the port range settings it allows each instance of RoboDK to use a different port. This port will be used by Python scripts triggered from RoboDK.

I tried various things, but the default port (20500) is set instead of the specified port (here '20503').
Code:
./RoboDK -PORT 20503

You should set the port using the equal sign.

Example:

Code:
./RoboDK -PORT=20503

But the documentation has space characters on both ends of the '='. I'd better change that.
I think there are people who are addicted to it.

Thank you for reporting this issue. I'm sorry this was confusing. We'll fix this soon.

下一个是另一个问题。

Above, I was able to start RoboDK even if the port number was not '20500'.

However, if the port number is other than '20500', the "RDK.AddFile()" method throws an error and fails to load the '.rdk' file into the project.

-For port:20500

Here is the test script.
Code:

ROBODK_ROOT = '/home/ddpg7/RoboDK'
RDK_FILE_PATH = './rdk/Conveying.rdk'
os.chdir(ROBODK_ROOT + '/bin')

LD_LIBRARY_PATH = os.getcwd() + '/lib'
os.environ['LD_LIBRARY_PATH'] = LD_LIBRARY_PATH

QT_PLUGIN_PATH = os.getcwd() + '/plugins/'
os.environ['QT_PLUGIN_PATH'] = QT_PLUGIN_PATH

QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH = os.getcwd() + '/plugins'
os.environ['QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH'] = QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH

# Specify the desired port number
#port = 20500
port = 20501

# Create a Robolink instance and connect to RoboDK on the specified port
RDK = Robolink(args=f"-PORT={port}")

# Load the .rdk file into the RoboDK project
rdk_file_path = "./rdk/Conveying.rdk"

project_directory = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
project_directory = os.path.join(project_directory, rdk_file_path)
print(f"Opening station: {project_directory}")
station = RDK.AddFile(project_directory)

try:
RDK.AddFile(rdk_file_path)
except Exception as e:
print(f"Failed to RDK.AddFile: {e}")
RodoDK is starting from terminal.
Code:
- ./RoboDK -NEWINSTANCE -PORT=20500

- ./RoboDK -NEWINSTANCE -PORT=20501
