Connection ROS to Universal Robot
Hi everyone,
I have got an Universal robot and a sensor mounted/connected to the robot.
The robot is connected with a network cable to my PC. All I want is to have the current coordinates and the Sensor Data shown in ROS.
I have spend hours on hours on this issue... Can someone help me?
Edit: sorry for the unspecific question.
Thanks for the link, yes I have seen it before.
Back to my question/ questions:
- Is it possible to have a "tf monitor" like in this video -> ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra-nX... ) minute 6:40) for the current status of the roboter? When yes, how ?
- When I follow the link wiki/universal_robot there is the GitHub link: https://github.com/ros-industrial/uni... . When I am setting a workspace, which of the folders (on GitHub) should I put in source folder? I have put the following folders inside:
- universal_robot
- ur_bringup
- ur_driver
- ur_msgs
after that I used catkin_make. I' ve tried it several time for testing reasons and i also tried catkin_make install after that (do I need catkin_make install?).
So the question is, what should I do for the next step to run the following:
To bring up the real robot, run:
roslaunch ur_bringup ur5_bringup.launch robot_ip:=IP_OF_THE_ROBOT [reverse_port:=REVERSE_PORT]
And what does this sentence mean:
Don't forget to source the correct setup shell files and use a new terminal for each command!
What I have to do?
Cause when I am running roslaunch... the following information appears:
Unable to register with master node http://...: Master my not be running yet. Will keep trying.
Thank you for your help and bringing ROS (community) further.
