TopgunZh 2018-06-04 12:00:25 UTC #1

After several months’ hardworking, the beta version of the new firmware and the new python library has been released.Currently it’s still not fully compatible with uarm studio, but it won’t be too long.It brings a whole new experience such as moving fast and moving stably.Welcome to experience and give us any feedbacks.

New firmware in here https://github.com/uArm-Developer/SwiftProForArduino/tree/Version_V4.0.
New python library in here https://github.com/uArm-Developer/uArm-Python-SDK.

Firmware v4 does not work

Gripper is very slow when i use swift.set_gripper(True,timeout=None) , even when timeout is none command takes more time

I am not able to download the firmware from the link given above .
And also the python library link is still pointing to the old library which was released 8 months ago .

Can you please update the link

TopgunZh 2018-06-05 01:19:33 UTC #3

the url has been updated.New python library is the branch which name is 2.0.

I tried uploading the firmware , but after the update the Xloader says " 0 bytes uploaded "
So i am not sure it the firmware got updated or not . i didn’t get any error

Also i checked the version using uarm Studio , the firmware for uArm pro still says 3.2 .

Please guide us

Thanks

You could use Arduino IDE to upload the project.

Can you please tell me the steps to update the firmware using Adruino IDE

moblab 2018-06-12 01:21:36 UTC #7

Please share the steps to update the firmware using Adruino IDE

hi,you can refer to this url.https://github.com/uArm-Developer/SwiftProForArduino/wiki/How-to-update-the-firmware-using-Adruino-IDE

Does new firmware improve repeatability?

The video seems like unit has more precise movements

Daniel 2018-07-09 03:44:19 UTC #10

Currently it improve the speed and will improve the Z axis precision in next few version.

Reckless 2018-07-09 04:42:47 UTC #11

Awesome! Please hurry with development as if the unit becomes much more precise I will be interested in using more of these in my factory.

Daniel 2018-07-09 06:05:30 UTC #12

Hi Reck, as of now the reputability is already 0.2mm, what we talk about the Z axis precision improvement is about the moving path could be used in 3D printing or drawing. Could you tell us more details about how you are going to use it in your factory?

Reckless 2018-07-09 06:39:23 UTC #13

We have many applications but the one requiring extreme precision and repeatability is for programming QFNs using a chip programmer. The leads on a QFN are very tiny and need to make proper contact. Each leg takes 0.15 mm.

We also want to use our uarm swift pro for pick and place packaging using suction cups. Hopefully new end effectors coming out to handle boxing application (placing 50g product in box). Xarm can pick up boxes and place them on pallet and through a taper. Hopefully it doesnt take as long for your company to develop.

Hi Reck, if you could provide a video about the usage scenario will be better, it will help us understand the situation.
Thanks

When will this be updated in Uarm studio???

Corrine 2018-08-09 03:58:45 UTC #16

Hi Reck, you can update uArm Studio now! (except blockly and 3D printing are not compatible with the new firmware yet)
