Please note that the fixed IP address is only for LAN1 (used for connecting to a PC for programming). The second LAN port does have an IP address which can be modified, so multiple robots can communicate on the network and also talk to other equipment. This means you are fully flexible when connecting it to the Local area network, except for when you are programming it via DobotStudio.
Hope this clarifies questions on the fixed IP address topic.

We need more people like you to explain and review things in a comprehensive and concise way.

Superduidelijke review, bedankt hiervoor. Ik hoop dat iedereen de potentie van deze DOBOT MG400 inziet. Ik ben erg onder de indruk!

So absolutely amazing and superb :) So exceptional and great to watch :)

This is absolutely awesome. Seriously considering picking one of these up for my business.

That's a nicely-paced, thorough, and interesting video. I have no need of a robot arm like this, and, sadly, I don't have the loose cash to buy one as a toy! 🥴
I still find the subject fascinating, and wish it was around as a career-path when I was a (much) younger man!
Dobot has come a long way since their original machines! Thank you.

Thanks for posting this. We’re new to robotics and just ordered an mg400 to help us with a repetitive task in the shop. We’ll be using the suction cup with their small vacuum pump to pickup small parts. I’m wondering how you set it up to give that blast of air to release the part quicker. Thanks

Nice Video Sir! have u tried to use RoboDK software for Dobot??

[percival]

Does it come with a litter box scoop attachment?

Thanks for the video. However where is the vacuum pump of the MG400? Do i have to use the small one from the magician version?

[jimsoncham]

I have the same gripper and I want to know where the wires should be plugged into the I/O at the back of the mg400

[filipemarques]

with the dobot studio, is it possible to export a movement to Python, Java or C++?

Hello, I have seen your DOBOT video and i´m interested to purchase it for a cookie decorating process, i think this robot can help out me with my production, but I need a special gripper to handle the plastic bag and regulate the preassure. Do you think this device can solve my problem?
I will apreciate your comments.
Thank you.
