I have list of XYZ positions on an excel file, would there be anyway to make the ar3 program read the excel file or any sort of xyz positions?

 

Edit:

I would also like to mention that the xyz coordinates are in degree's and not cartesian coordinates, would there be a way to convert them for the program to understand?

I don't have anything currently to extract positions from a file like that. I am working on reading in Gcode files but that is a work in progress. Ive thought about making the program file a text editable file, I wonder if that would help you?

@chris-annin Of course, that would be very helpful for the purpose of my robotic arm. Could the arm read from any other type of file?

@mateo-josue-cruz-gallegos It would have to be text edited. It is a specific format as programmed. I start looking into making the program file a text file. currently it is a Python list but I will see what I can do. It might take some time before the next release or possibly be on the following release.

Hi, I'm sorry, but which .exe file are you referring to? The ARCS .exe file?
