Gantry Component

This section documents the configuration attributes for each built-in gantry model. Use these pages when you are writing a JSON configuration, debugging a config validation error, or looking up the default for a specific attribute.

  • For how to add and configure a gantry component on your machine, see Gantry.
  • For the methods you call on a gantry in code, see the Gantry API reference.
  • For gantry models outside the built-in set, browse the Viam registry. Each registry module’s configuration is documented in its own README on its registry page.
