I am trying to include a feature that allows the user of the robot to be able to change live parameters such as robot speed or extrusion speed (for 3D printing concrete) as the robot itself is running the printing program. Is there a way to do this whether it be showing up on the pendant, or changing the parameters directly in grasshopper?
This depends on how your printing parameters are set.
What value / interface is currently setting the extrusion speed?
There is no live control of parameters via grasshopper in any plugin I know of.
It could be implemented with scripting.
Right now we have a jetson nano that sends a rpm and a dwell time to a raspberry pi through ModBus and we want the jetson to send the values to grasshopper first and then send those values to the extrusion device (a pump) to update after each layer is printed. I’m not sure if I’m explaining that clearly, but any advice helps. The problem I’m finding is that it seems impossible to have the program update in polyscope as it is already being run.
