Is there a way to get TG location/coordinates as an output?
I am trying to make this new Move Relative command work for my application, but I do need to know where it currently is programmatically.
Hi @rich_panini and welcome to the forum!
If you wouldn’t mind providing some context and details about your intended application that you don’t mind sharing, I can propose a path or paths forward. The TG uses a different coordinate system (axis-centric) than the typical cartesian XYZ coordinates used in VENUS for labware location, so retrieving the TG axis positions might not be immediately useful for you, depending on your intended use case.
Thanks.

Hi Nick and thank you!
I have an in house scheduler that communicates with the VENUS at runtime. The idea is to micromanage VENUS as much as possible.
For this case I want to get current TG location, then use the new Relative Move command to build a series of moves to drive to a custom location.
Essentially, I want to be able to build paths inside my scheduler environment (Python) and not in Path editor for more flexibility.
