Hello, So I have been working with an older Schunk/Amtec LWA 3 and a ROS control implementation. After a lot of finagling I cannot figure out the initialization of the PowerCube Modules.

For my setup I went and got the groovy-dev branch of Schunk_bringup. Essentially everything appears to launch fine.

I use:

roslaunch schunk_bringup lwa_solo.launch
rosservice call /driver/init

and I get:

initstring = PCAN:/dev/pcan0,500
PCanDevice successfully opened on /dev/pcan0
Initializing pcan device ... 
PcanDevice, init ok

 Could not reset module 1 during init. Errorcode during reset: -207 Try to init once more.
  [ INFO] [1526183521.627463556]: ...initializing powercubes not successful. error: Could not reset module 1 during init. 
  Errorcode during reset: -207 Try to init once more.

I cannot find anything that shows how to get around this error. I believe it may be an issue with the module IDs but I dont know what they should be.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for the delay, I am switching to a setup that uses all indigo packages on 14.04. The pcan drivers were the most uptodate. Ill update the question with more details this afternoon
