Generic conveyor (belt) speed control

[vaggkout]

I am trying to make the belt stop uppon a proxSensor signal, but it seems like if you give an initial velocity to the belt you cant change it after. Any thoughts on that ?
Thank you

Yes you can change the velocity afterwards.

To command the conveyor externally or from another script, simply do:

Code: Select all

sim.writeCustomTableData(conveyorHandle, '__ctrl__', {vel=0.1})

thank you for your answer.
i can't do it. i dont know whether it is a problem of my script, but it looks like if you initialize the belt velocity, then you cant effect its velocity through the script. (i used sim.writeCustomTableData(conveyorHandle, '__ctrl__', {vel=0.1}) and after that sim.writeCustomTableData(conveyorHandle, '__ctrl__', {vel=0.0}) but the belt still move).
i am trying to make it stop through a proximity sensor signal. so when the proxsensor triggers then the velocity of the belt should be 0.0.

Hello,

what version of CoppeliaSim do you run?
Also, the conveyor will not immediately stop, it will gradually slow-down then stop. If you want it to react faster, modify its Acceleration property upwards.

I realized that after a while and i did it.
