How to use the Roll Pitch Yaw robot skill
Two instances different camera angles:
Top Menus:
Configuration - configuration form
Scroll Bars:
Rotate Camera - When selected the top, bottom, right scroll bars controls the camera rotation (roll, pitch, yaw)
Position Camera - When selected the top, bottom, right scroll bars controls the camera distance from the object (x,y,z)
Rotate Object - When selected the top, bottom, right scroll bars controls the object (cube) rotation (roll, pitch, yaw)
Reset - sets 0,0,0 for the selected scroll bars
Show Camera Settings - Displays the camera position & rotation values
The Camera settings (excluding the object rotation) are saved to the project .
Configurations:
Controlling Variable - If specified an EZ-Script 3 position array variable is created to store the roll, pitch, yaw angles.
The value is updated when the scroll bars are controlling the object and the user changes the values.
Monitoring Variable - If specified the plugin instance will monitor a 3 position array variable (roll, pitch, yaw) and use the values to rotate the cube.
Simple Test:
Start a new Project
Add the RollPitchYaw plugin
Specify a monitoring variable: $rotation1
add the following script:
Code:
DefineArray($rotation1,3)
Repeat( $ax, 0, 2, 1)
$rotation1[0] = 0
$rotation1[1] = 0
$rotation1[2] = 0
$angle = 0
REPEATWHILE ($angle<=360)
$rotation1[$ax] = $angle
$angle = $angle + 1
Sleep(50)
EndRepeatWhile
EndRepeat
Hit Script Run!
Visualize the 360 degrees rotation over the 3 axis (Roll, Pitch, Yaw)
