Connecting video adapter and Kinova joystick using splitter cable (Optional)
This section describes how to connect the video adapter and a Kinova joystick to the robot
using an optional splitter cable.
The video adapter connects to the robot via the joystick / expansion connector on the arm.
This connector can also used for connecting the Kinova joystick controller that comes with
the KINOVA
®
Gen2
Ultra lightweight robot
. If you want to control the robot using the Kinova
joystick while the video adapter is connected, this is possible using an optional splitter cable
(Sold separately from the robot, P/N EH 0M15 0001 R1.2).
One end of the splitter cable connects to the robot joystick / expansion connector via a Lumberg
0331 08-1 (8-pin male) connector. At the other end the cable branches to give two Lumberg
0321 09-1 (8-contact female) connectors. This provides connection points for the Kinova
joystick cable and the robot to video adapter cable to connect just as they would with the robot
base joystick / expansion port.
