Hi Team, I am reading input registers from an external RTDE python program and moving the robot based on the values. My challenge is when i start the controller program from robot side, the read\_input\_float\_register are having some values , may be from previous program. How to clean them from the control program ? I wrote the below subprog to clear them added it to the beginning of the before start . But no luck. My understanding is it is just reading the register memory. Not removing the data from the memory. Is there a way to reset the registers except restarting the robot? tmp:=p[1,1,1,1,1,1] loop tmp!=p[0,0,0,0,0,0] tmp[0] = read\_input\_float\_register[24] tmp[1] = read\_input\_float\_register[25] tmp[2] = read\_input\_float\_register[26] tmp[3] = read\_input\_float\_register[27] tmp[4] = read\_input\_float\_register[28] tmp[5] = read\_input\_float\_register[29] ---

Seconded here. I’m still working on this and will update if I find a solution. Anyone else able to figure this out?
