can't use roslaunch ur_bringup ur5_bringup.launch with ur5 robot
After i have been using the robot for a couple of weeks, every time i would connect to it using ros the connection would occasionally fail.
I checked the ip address which is correct (i can ping the ur5), and try to use
roslaunch ur_bringup ur5_bringup.launch robot_ip:=[ip of robot]
Note: this command used to work most of the time, just 3 out of 10 times it just failed for no apparent reason. now however, the response i get 100% of the time can be seen at the bottom of my post, note that it ends with "waiting to program".
I have been looking all over the internet for a solution, and haven't been able to find one yet. Can anyone please help me with this? All i want to do is connect to the robot.
roslaunch ur_bringup ur5_bringup.launch robot_ip:=192.168.11.5

We're going to need more information, such as the type of control box, and the version of software running on it. Also: please see if any of the issues reported on the tracker are similar (such as 199, 191 or 183).
the version of the software is as follows: user interface: polyscope 3.1.18213 robot controller: urcontrol 3.1.18213
I'll take another look at the reported issues, but i have low hopes for it being the same. i really couldn't find anything about this anywhere.
the difference with most other post is the fact that my console output specifially says "Robot disconnected", where in the other tracker issues it says "Halted"
For now, see if the ur_modern_driver works. It has its own issues, but for most cases, should be a drop-in replacement of
ur_driver. Please report your issue on theuniversal_robottracker as well. Include as much information as possible.I have the same problem with you. Have you solved this problem?
Yes: don't use
ur_driver(throughur_bringup), but useur_modern_driver. Version 3.1 and up are not supported byur_driver. See also the wiki page.Thank you very much!
Do changes to
ur_bringupneed to be made to show we are usingur_modern_driver? In theur_common.launchfile, should the driver node element be reformatted to the following:although driver.py does not exist?
