It's great fun to learn by trial and error, but might be safer and quicker to RTFM. I just found this online:
http://www-eng.lbl.gov/~dw/groupshare/public/CRSdocs/A465%20User%20Guide%20for%20C500C.pdf

It is the complete user guide. It doesn't cover programming with the RAPL-3 language, which is in the manual we were reading today:
http://www.uoguelph.ca/~habdulla/courses/ENGG6/RobotManuals/RAPL-3%20Language%20Refernce%20Guide.pdf

By the way, at full speed it is terrifyingly fast - 180 degrees per second rotation! 4.3m/s speeds! No wonder it needs to be bolted down.

Best wishes
Chris

Hi Chris,

Thanks for this link up.  I think we already have these manuals.  Additionally we have the service manual for the A265 but not the A465.  If you are able to find the service manual for the A465 and the C500 controller (we have the C500, not the C500C) that would be exceptionally useful!

I'm not sure when you left.  We did get the arm fully running last night (around midnight!) but we think the disassembly has thrown out its calibration and it no longer knows where its joints are.  We found the calibration instructions for the A265 which are probably good enough to get us going.

You should also have an invitation to the Slack channel, if you're interested in joining us there :)

Stuart
