Generic Component

This section documents the configuration attributes for each built-in generic 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 generic component on your machine, see Generic.
  • For the methods you call on a generic in code, see the Generic API reference.
  • For generic 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.
