Get trajectory path length with API or/and via short python script-Olendo-05-30-2022
Hi guys,
I'm back with a general theoretical question.
Is it possible to directly determine the length of the trajectory (or path) of a moving TCP using the RoboDK API with a short Python script?
The background is that I want to know if the trajectory from point A to point B is shorter than the path from point A to point C (e.g. length in millimetres [mm]). Is it possible to get an output of the traveled path length with the API or using a short python script?
Greetings from Germany
Ole

Hello,
With the API, calling the prog_item.Update() will return an estimate of the distance travelled, in mm.

Thank you very much for your answer Sam, it helped me a lot. I used this code block with your help.
...
[n_instructions, program_time, program_distance, valid_ratio, readable_msg] = prog.Update()
print("Distance in [mm]: ",program_distance)
print("Time in [s]: ",program_time)
...
Works perfectly for me. Thank you!

You're definitely familiar with the best coding language C++ that developers use to develop their projects and they get all their queries like "expected unqualified-id before 'if'" answered properly. Developers are finding an appropriate answer about expected unqualified-id before 'if' related to the C++ coding language.
