how to operate robot arm motor via software
Hello everybody,
I'm using ROS DISTRO Kinetic and writing my code in python for a Denso Robot Arm. I would like to know if anyone knows if and how is possible to turn on and off the robot motor via software; my goal would be to use this in a for loop in the main.
Thank you very much for your attention and help.
Just a comment, but: I would be very much surprised if it was possible to "control the deadman switch via software", as that would seem to violate one of the major safety systems of a robot controller.
Joint brakes are probably also not controllable, as that would interfere with the controller.
If you are using DENSORobot/denso_robot_ros, the I would recommend to ask this over at their issue tracker, as the developers probably don't monitor ROS Answers.
