so I'm going to show you how to power on so I'm going to show you how to power on this the system um once everything is this the system um once everything is this the system um once everything is plugged in effectively you turn it on plugged in effectively you turn it on plugged in effectively you turn it on here the PC can be turned on at any time here the PC can be turned on at any time here the PC can be turned on at any time doesn't make a difference uh you power doesn't make a difference uh you power doesn't make a difference uh you power that on um and what happens is if the uh that on um and what happens is if the uh that on um and what happens is if the uh Focus or the lens motor is plugged in Focus or the lens motor is plugged in Focus or the lens motor is plugged in you'll see it's automatically homing the you'll see it's automatically homing the you'll see it's automatically homing the lens or automatically finding the end lens or automatically finding the end lens or automatically finding the end limits um if you don't want to do that limits um if you don't want to do that limits um if you don't want to do that because you don't have a camera on there because you don't have a camera on there because you don't have a camera on there yet or anything like that just unplug it yet or anything like that just unplug it yet or anything like that just unplug it otherwise it will just keep turning and otherwise it will just keep turning and otherwise it will just keep turning and turning and turning okay but we had a turning and turning okay but we had a turning and turning okay but we had a camera on here um the the camera gets camera on here um the the camera gets camera on here um the the camera gets its power from the same Mains that I've its power from the same Mains that I've its power from the same Mains that I've just turned on so I actually have to just turned on so I actually have to just turned on so I actually have to turn it on because it doesn't turn on by turn it on because it doesn't turn on by turn it on because it doesn't turn on by itself so I'm just going to turn the itself so I'm just going to turn the itself so I'm just going to turn the camera on now okay okay and okay okay and then the actual power supply for the or then the actual power supply for the or then the actual power supply for the or what we call the controller for the what we call the controller for the what we call the controller for the robot that's in here takes about a robot that's in here takes about a robot that's in here takes about a minute to start up so what we do is minute to start up so what we do is minute to start up so what we do is basically we leave it for about a minute basically we leave it for about a minute basically we leave it for about a minute um and then we start up the software so um and then we start up the software so um and then we start up the software so although I haven't waited for a minute although I haven't waited for a minute although I haven't waited for a minute I'm going to start it up up okay and depending on the software that okay and depending on the software that okay and depending on the software that you have installed um it may come up you have installed um it may come up you have installed um it may come up with this screen initially or it may go with this screen initially or it may go with this screen initially or it may go which is flare classic and then switch which is flare classic and then switch which is flare classic and then switch to flare 7 or it may go straight into to flare 7 or it may go straight into to flare 7 or it may go straight into flare 7 7 okay now because I turned off the power okay now because I turned off the power okay now because I turned off the power without shutting down flare first uh without shutting down flare first uh without shutting down flare first uh when I last used it a couple of things when I last used it a couple of things when I last used it a couple of things may happen flare may say do you want to may happen flare may say do you want to may happen flare may say do you want to load uh the previous stored positions uh load uh the previous stored positions uh load uh the previous stored positions uh which is normally totally safe to say which is normally totally safe to say which is normally totally safe to say Yes um it comes up with this message Yes um it comes up with this message Yes um it comes up with this message because it's I don't have my turntable because it's I don't have my turntable because it's I don't have my turntable plugged in at the moment because I'm not plugged in at the moment because I'm not plugged in at the moment because I'm not using it so it's telling me that board using it so it's telling me that board using it so it's telling me that board two which is the the turntable isn't two which is the the turntable isn't two which is the the turntable isn't plugged in okay and now flare has loaded plugged in okay and now flare has loaded plugged in okay and now flare has loaded um it doesn't mean that flare is um it doesn't mean that flare is um it doesn't mean that flare is actually talking to the robot yet it actually talking to the robot yet it actually talking to the robot yet it just means that flare has loaded and now just means that flare has loaded and now just means that flare has loaded and now what I can do is I can go engage robot what I can do is I can go engage robot what I can do is I can go engage robot okay now it's connect trying to connect okay now it's connect trying to connect okay now it's connect trying to connect to the robot okay now it says it's not to the robot okay now it says it's not to the robot okay now it says it's not in remote mode probably because it's not in remote mode probably because it's not in remote mode probably because it's not quite ready now one thing that the robot quite ready now one thing that the robot quite ready now one thing that the robot has it has an interface that you can has it has an interface that you can has it has an interface that you can talk to anytime even when Flare's not talk to anytime even when Flare's not talk to anytime even when Flare's not running um and we connect to it via this running um and we connect to it via this running um and we connect to it via this software here just get rid of software here just get rid of software here just get rid of these okay and you just press connect these okay and you just press connect these okay and you just press connect and then you put in a password which is and then you put in a password which is and then you put in a password which is uh mrmc 1 2 3 4 okay and there we go uh mrmc 1 2 3 4 okay and there we go uh mrmc 1 2 3 4 okay and there we go this is the robots interface it's the this is the robots interface it's the this is the robots interface it's the same interface that you would see if same interface that you would see if same interface that you would see if you're actually using the same robot you're actually using the same robot you're actually using the same robot with a robot pendant but it's not with a robot pendant but it's not with a robot pendant but it's not necessary because we have this necessary because we have this necessary because we have this um and it says robot needs to be powered um and it says robot needs to be powered um and it says robot needs to be powered on to proceed so we press this and we go on now it's not always the case that you on now it's not always the case that you need to do it um quite often you power need to do it um quite often you power need to do it um quite often you power on and you don't need to that at all um on and you don't need to that at all um on and you don't need to that at all um it really depends how it was powered off it really depends how it was powered off it really depends how it was powered off um now if it was powered off without the um now if it was powered off without the um now if it was powered off without the robot being um uh turned off at uh from robot being um uh turned off at uh from robot being um uh turned off at uh from the software first then what happens is the software first then what happens is the software first then what happens is that it comes up with this robot that it comes up with this robot that it comes up with this robot position verification screen and this position verification screen and this position verification screen and this should match the way that your robot is should match the way that your robot is should match the way that your robot is currently uh looking and I confirm that currently uh looking and I confirm that currently uh looking and I confirm that it shows the real robot pose and robot it shows the real robot pose and robot it shows the real robot pose and robot position verified and now I can go to position verified and now I can go to position verified and now I can go to flare and Press and Press Start seems to want to go all the way Start seems to want to go all the way Start seems to want to go all the way through the sequence okay so the robot is now sequence okay so the robot is now on uh so on uh so on uh so reenable engage okay this is working reenable engage okay this is working reenable engage okay this is working great switch remote okay so it says great switch remote okay so it says great switch remote okay so it says switch remote moment on and reconnect so switch remote moment on and reconnect so switch remote moment on and reconnect so I'm going to go here okay and I'm going to go okay and I'm going to go exit exit exit okay and just to make sure I'm going to okay and just to make sure I'm going to okay and just to make sure I'm going to turn this to local control and then back turn this to local control and then back turn this to local control and then back to to to remote and then I go engage remote and then I go engage remote and then I go engage robot and now it's working you can tell robot and now it's working you can tell robot and now it's working you can tell it's working because these have turned it's working because these have turned it's working because these have turned green this shows that the motors are on green this shows that the motors are on green this shows that the motors are on and in fact I can and in fact I can and in fact I can now press my free drive and I can move now press my free drive and I can move now press my free drive and I can move it now one thing to bear in mind is it now one thing to bear in mind is it now one thing to bear in mind is never press the free never press the free never press the free drive if you've taken your camera off drive if you've taken your camera off drive if you've taken your camera off and haven't changed the payload or if and haven't changed the payload or if and haven't changed the payload or if you weren't using it with a pay with a you weren't using it with a pay with a you weren't using it with a pay with a payload before like a camera and then payload before like a camera and then payload before like a camera and then you put a camera on it and then you turn you put a camera on it and then you turn you put a camera on it and then you turn on free Drive never do that either until on free Drive never do that either until on free Drive never do that either until you tell flare that you've changed the you tell flare that you've changed the you tell flare that you've changed the payloads the reason for that is is that payloads the reason for that is is that payloads the reason for that is is that if you if I take my camera off and I put if you if I take my camera off and I put if you if I take my camera off and I put into free Drive the payload is now no into free Drive the payload is now no into free Drive the payload is now no longer there and it'll think that I'm longer there and it'll think that I'm longer there and it'll think that I'm actually pushing it up because gravity actually pushing it up because gravity actually pushing it up because gravity is no longer acting as strongly and so is no longer acting as strongly and so is no longer acting as strongly and so it'll just the the arm will just move up it'll just the the arm will just move up it'll just the the arm will just move up whereas if I didn't have a payload on whereas if I didn't have a payload on whereas if I didn't have a payload on there and then I put one on there and there and then I put one on there and there and then I put one on there and then turn into turn on free drive or um then turn into turn on free drive or um then turn into turn on free drive or um push Moko um then it'll just drop push Moko um then it'll just drop push Moko um then it'll just drop so just make sure you set the payload so just make sure you set the payload so just make sure you set the payload correctly okay and when it's correct correctly okay and when it's correct correctly okay and when it's correct then when I turn it on I can leave it then when I turn it on I can leave it then when I turn it on I can leave it and it doesn't move if it's incorrect and it doesn't move if it's incorrect and it doesn't move if it's incorrect it'll have a tendency to move by it'll have a tendency to move by it'll have a tendency to move by itself okay and just going back to the itself okay and just going back to the itself okay and just going back to the um uh to the Control software the um uh to the Control software the um uh to the Control software the pendant software this is quite important pendant software this is quite important pendant software this is quite important um in terms of a finding out if there's um in terms of a finding out if there's um in terms of a finding out if there's anything wrong with a robot but more anything wrong with a robot but more anything wrong with a robot but more importantly um setting the correct importantly um setting the correct importantly um setting the correct payload because it isn't just a case of payload because it isn't just a case of payload because it isn't just a case of saying this camera weighs 5.2 kilos it's saying this camera weighs 5.2 kilos it's saying this camera weighs 5.2 kilos it's also important to say where the center also important to say where the center also important to say where the center of gravity is of that camera how far up of gravity is of that camera how far up of gravity is of that camera how far up or down forward backwards it is and this or down forward backwards it is and this or down forward backwards it is and this can all be done relatively automatically can all be done relatively automatically can all be done relatively automatically through this software if you ever change through this software if you ever change through this software if you ever change the payload so the way to do that is you the payload so the way to do that is you the payload so the way to do that is you take it out of remote control which take it out of remote control which take it out of remote control which remote control is when Flare's remote control is when Flare's remote control is when Flare's controlling and you put it back into the controlling and you put it back into the controlling and you put it back into the local control which means that I'm local control which means that I'm local control which means that I'm controlling it from this software the controlling it from this software the controlling it from this software the teach pendant software and now I go into teach pendant software and now I go into teach pendant software and now I go into installation and I go to payload and installation and I go to payload and installation and I go to payload and here you see this is the payload that here you see this is the payload that here you see this is the payload that it's calculated and where the center of it's calculated and where the center of it's calculated and where the center of gravity is and to change it the simplest gravity is and to change it the simplest gravity is and to change it the simplest thing is to go measure okay and once you thing is to go measure okay and once you thing is to go measure okay and once you put it into measure you put it into four put it into measure you put it into four put it into measure you put it into four different unique positions and from that different unique positions and from that different unique positions and from that it automatically works out what the it automatically works out what the it automatically works out what the payload is and where it center of payload is and where it center of payload is and where it center of gravity is so the way you do this is you gravity is so the way you do this is you gravity is so the way you do this is you go next okay and then you go set go next okay and then you go set go next okay and then you go set position position position okay and then here the important part is okay and then here the important part is okay and then here the important part is to move you can move the the main axes to move you can move the the main axes to move you can move the the main axes these large axes but it's really the these large axes but it's really the these large axes but it's really the these small axes are important because these small axes are important because these small axes are important because they can they allow it to measure where they can they allow it to measure where they can they allow it to measure where the payload is uh relative to those the payload is uh relative to those the payload is uh relative to those wrist joint points so I I'm in one wrist joint points so I I'm in one wrist joint points so I I'm in one position I'm going to say well this is position I'm going to say well this is position I'm going to say well this is my first position so go okay okay and my first position so go okay okay and my first position so go okay okay and then next and then set position number then next and then set position number then next and then set position number two okay now I'm going to move it two okay now I'm going to move it two okay now I'm going to move it slightly so I'm going to change this slightly so I'm going to change this slightly so I'm going to change this kind of move it let's say 60° that way kind of move it let's say 60° that way kind of move it let's say 60° that way and move that and move that one around around okay uh and then press okay uh and then press okay uh and then press okay and then next set position okay uh let's move next set position okay uh let's move this one around up and then move this this one around up and then move this this one around up and then move this one and this one no other way let's go one and this one no other way let's go one and this one no other way let's go that way up here and go okay and go way up here and go okay and go next set position and then move this one next set position and then move this one next set position and then move this one around like around like around like that and move this one around like that and move this that and move this one uh back here let's go the other way like that I'm going to say way like that I'm going to say okay next that was my fourth position so okay next that was my fourth position so okay next that was my fourth position so it's worked out my P load my center of it's worked out my P load my center of it's worked out my P load my center of gravity and you go finish okay and then gravity and you go finish okay and then gravity and you go finish okay and then I'm going to just save that save all and I'm going to just save that save all and I'm going to just save that save all and then put it back into remote control so then put it back into remote control so then put it back into remote control so that flare has that flare has that flare has control and then it would have turned control and then it would have turned control and then it would have turned the robot off while I did that so I'm the robot off while I did that so I'm the robot off while I did that so I'm just going to re-engage the robot and now flare has control again robot and now flare has control again and I can move it around and I can move it around and I can move it around like that just from the flare like that just from the flare like that just from the flare interface
