Move the Robot with Joypad and Buttons

The robot can be moved (or "jogged") manually while no program is running. The main controls are the Joypad Connect Panel, the Motion Type Selection List, and the Override.

By pressing the joystick button, CPRog connects to a joypad. If the connection was successful, a green OK sign is displayed on the joystick button.

The device must be of the "Joystick" or "Gamepad" type. You can find further information on establishing a connection in the protocol window.

The "Joint" mode allows the individual robot axes to be moved from A1 to A6, if available. In

Cart Base mode, the robot moves in straight lines along the X, Y and Z axes of the base coordinate system. In Cart Tool mode, the robot moves according to the current tool coordinate system.

The override scales the movement speed between 0 and 100%.

When the Virtual Wall is active, the program prevents it from leaving the allowed area.
