NOTICE
Note that in Cartesian jog, when reorienting the end-eector using the Rx, Ry
and Rz arrow buttons, you do not modify independently each Euler angle, but
rather rotate the TRF about axes passing through its origin (the TCP) and
coincident with its
x
,
y
or
z
axes, if the TRF option is chosen, or parallel to the
x
,
y
or
z
axes of the WRF, if the WRF option is chosen.

7.7.3 The Joystick tab
Instead of using your mouse to jog the Meca500, you can also use the SpaceMouse
R
6-axis
mouse from
(Fig. 12a) or our own MJ3 3-axis USB joystick (Fig. 12b). To
use the SpaceMouse or the MJ3, you need to have the jogging enabled and the Joystick tab
selected. For the web interface to detect the SpaceMouse or the MJ3, you will need to press
one of the device's buttons or, occasionally, unplug and reconnect the device. Once the
SpaceMouse or the MJ3 is detected, you will see the table of menus shown in Fig. 11b or
Fig. 11c. Finally, for safety reasons, to use the SpaceMouse or the MJ3, you need to hold
the
Ctrl
key.
