I am using a Fanuc 200iD/4s with a R-30iB controller and ROS kinetic. My goal is to install the Fanuc_drive on the controller so i can control the robot with ROS. I followed the tutorial steps to install the driver on the Fanuc, but wen i want to load the ROS.tp or ROSSTAT.tp file on the Teach panel it freezes on the loading screen. Can anyone help me with this problem?

Edit 1: I use the fanuc_driver and used roboguide to transform ROSSTAT to a .tp file.

Edit 2: Found the problem with the way i tried to launch the files. Followed the proper protocol from the Fanuc manual and the driver runs.

Can you please clarify which driver you are specifically referring to? ROSSTAT.tp is not a file distributed with either fanuc_driver or fanuc_driver_exp, so I'm not sure I can help you.

Hello Harry, My problem laid in the way i try to launch the file. The correct way to launch ROS on the Fanuc to press SELECT on the teach pendant, scroll down using the arrows keys untill you see ROS and select it by pressing ENTER on it. A new screen will appear.

Press SHIFT and FWD buttons and the ROS will start. If you use the T1 of T2 setting you need to keep the SHIFT and deadman pressed. If you run AUTO switch the teach pendant of and press the green button on the R-30iB. Now ROS is running on the Fanuc and you can connect it with your computer.

@Kluun: from your description it doesn't appear there are any issues with installing the code, but with running it. You just explained the basic ways in which a program can be started on a Fanuc controller.

And some clarification: ROS is not "running on the Fanuc". The driver is a simple ..

.. Karel + TP program that accepts external motion commands in a primitive way and executes them.
