Seq4SimPyLC sequence control level for SimPyLC

Here you can find the entire original SimPyLC project: https://github.com/QQuick/SimPyLC/

Seq4SimPyLC is just an an extension of SimPyLC for learning purposes.

Installation

Installation for Windows, Linux is described in: "SimPyLC_HowTo" https://github.com/QQuick/SimPyLC/blob/master/simpylc/simpylc_howto.pdf

Usage

  1. Go to directory SimPyLC/simulations/one_armed_robot
  2. Replace original file with "world.py" and "control.py" and add this "sequence.py"
  3. Click on world.py (or run world.py from the command line) - requires Python 3.10 installed
  4. Force the "go" bit in the "movement control window"
  5. The one arm robot torso will then follow 3 predefined angles
  6. "Reset" bit in the "sequence control window" repeats the whole sequence

Demo

The robot torso movement is still very slow and has a lot of overshoot, but this makes it easier to follow the processes. And this is what it looks like:

I also tried to implement the suggested procedure of a bang-bang control: https://github.com/JEGGEgit/Bang4SimPyLC

You will find a good description in "SimPyLC_HowTo"

Notes

The GUI operation as described (Mouse Wheel and PageUP/Dwn) didn't work for me. I'm running the simulation on Windows 10 64-bit (1511) with Python 3.10 32-bit.

And yes, in real life, I'm an old-school PLC programmer. I do simulations directly on the manufacturer's development environment, including Omron's Sysmac Studio.

But I also like Python and this concept of SimPyLC using Python with OpenGL visualisation.

Enjoy What You Do
