PUMA THETA Parameters

Theta of DH for PUMA model

We added DH Theta parameter for PUMA, this in order to support Staublie new series of robots where {0,0,0,0,0} position is straight up arm. New functions are added

	double PUMA_GET_THETA(int hndl, int i);
	double PUMA_SET_THETA(int hndl,int i, double value);

do not forget to add in your PROTO.PRO file:

import_c PUMA_GET_THETA(byval as long, byval as long) as double
import_c PUMA_SET_THETA(byval as long, byval as long,byval as double) as double

Algorithm

Basically the $theta_{i}$ values are added in IK and DK to each of joint angle values.

Return Value

In case of an error (not a PUMA model or invalid index) both functions are returning -1

The PUMA_SET_THETA returns 1 if everything is OK.

To Be Done

Make it available as regular property
