Question about ReadMotor

ColoradoPacific

in RAPID Programming
I am attempting to utilize the ReadMotor function to determine initial motion during my homing routine. However, the value I receive from the ReadMotor command doesn't seem to line up with the actual motor angle in degrees OR radians.

Attempting to read value of Axis1 on a single robot system with no external axes...
[code]MotorAngle_1 := ReadMotor(1);
MotorAngle_1 value is returning as -155.803, but the Axis 1 position is 90.0 degrees.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong

    Hello
    Use CJointT instead as below.

        PERS jointtarget joints;    PERS num joint3;

        joints:=CJointT();    joint3:=joints.robax.rax_3;
