Hello, I am trying to run the schunk lwa4p arm with ros_canopen package but was not able to initialize the robot. The nodes are running and the can is set up but the rosservice call /arm/driver/init was not able to initialize the robot. I am attaching the candump output of the service along with other outputs.

I am using the shunck_lwa4p package from schunk_robots.

Which firmware version do you use?

I am using ubuntu 14.04 as a docker on fedora 25 with ros indigo.

I really meant the Schunk firmware version, the config in schunk_robots works for v0.63 only. (With some modification it might work with v0.65, we don't use it)

The canalyzer shows the manufacturer software version as 65 Build:7589. I am not sure if that is the correct version for the configuration file we have.

For v0.65 please try to set an initial operation mode, this worked for me in a beta version:

Add ParameterValue=1 to the DCF.

As an alternative you can add "6060": "1" to dcf_overlay.

The robot was initialized after I made the suggested changes. Thank you for the help.

Although the robot initializes successfully, I am still not able to control the robot using the position controllers. I am spawning the controllers using the ros_control package and they are spawing successfully.

Check the diagnostics for hints,.

The drives are in the Profile position mode but I think to control the robot with the position controller I need to bring them in interpolated position mode. I will take a more detailed look at the diagnostics too.

What to do for v0.67 ?
