Widget reference
Widgets are the building blocks of a Dashboard. Each one either shows part of the Robot's state or does something to it.
The Widget selector groups them into four categories, and this reference follows the same grouping:
| Category | Widgets | What they are for |
|---|---|---|
| Robot State | 9 | Read-only displays: pose, joint angles, I/O, payload, messages, Variables, the 3D model |
| Robot Control | 14 | Commanding the Robot: jogging, brakes, payload, outputs, setting a Variable, custom buttons |
| Flow Control | 4 | Selecting, running, pausing and stopping Flows |
| Misc | 2 | An embedded web page, and a CSV download |
Settings every Widget shares
- Name — the headline shown above the Widget.
- Hide headline — available on most Widgets, for a tighter layout.
- Position and size — set by dragging on the canvas, stored with the Dashboard.
Beta Widgets
Two Widgets are marked (Beta) and only appear when the Robot's update channel is set to Beta:
- Calibration (Beta), in Robot Control.
- Configure Pallet (Beta), in Flow Control.
See System settings for the update channel.
Widgets that move the Robot
Anything in Robot Control can put the Robot in motion, and Set Outputs drives real outputs. Put those Widgets on a Dashboard marked protected, so opening it requires a login — see Dashboard settings.
