Read Position Data form Machining Project

#1
I'm currently working on a Python script that I want to use to automate a machining project on our robot. The creation of the machining project from the GCode is already working. Now I would like to insert a position before the first point of the machining program, so that the robot first moves over the first path point and then starts the program. My problem is now, I find in the documentation no way to read the position of the first point.


I tried to have the InstuctionList output, but here I can not find any way to identify the first move command and then read out the position data.
The code I used looks like this:
Code:
robot.setPoseFrame(RDK.Item('FrameTest'))
path_settings = RDK.AddMachiningProject("milling")
prog, status = path_settings.setMachiningParameters(ncfile="Milling Bowl 3x.nc", part=RDK.Item('FrameTest'), params = "RotZ_Range=45 RotZ_Step=5 NormalApproach=50")

ItemList = prog.InstructionList()
print(ItemList)

You can use program.SelectInstruction(id) to add instructions and program.Instruction(id) / setInstruction to get/set information about a target (mostly used to retrieve the type of instruction and modify movement instructions). Also, RunInstruction allows you to add a program call at the end of a program (or after the selected instruction if you use SelectInstruction.

More examples here:
//www.sinclairbody.com/doc/en/PythonAPI/robo...AddProgram

This shows an example that adds a program call after every movement in a program.

Code:
# Iterate through all the instructions in a program:
ins_id = 0
ins_count = prog.InstructionCount()
而ins_id < ins_count:
# Retrieve instruction
ins_nom, ins_type, move_type, isjointtarget, pose, joints = prog.Instruction(ins_id)
if ins_type == INS_TYPE_MOVE:
# Select the movement instruction as a reference
prog.InstructionSelect(ins_id)
# Add a new program call
prog.RunInstruction('RunSubProgram', INSTRUCTION_CALL_PROGRAM)
# Advance one additional instruction as we just added another instruction
ins_id = ins_id + 1
ins_count = ins_count + 1

ins_id = ins_id + 1
