I am looking to interface ROS with an Allen Bradley PLC and I was curious if anyone has ever set up communications like this before?

I am very new to trying to develop my own robot arm; but work with Industrial robot arms on a normal basis. I am trying to determine how I can come up with a Kinematic model for the robot arm I develop. I need to instruct the robot to move in a linear motion relative to the end of the arm on a Cartesian coordinate system. I was curious if ROS would assists with this?

I am very new to trying to work on a project like this; I am really just trying to understand how I can achieve the motion I am looking for from my 6 axis robot arm.

How do we transmit trajectories to our ABB IRB 140 using the ABB Package We have the ABB driver communicating with ROS,

Does ROS assist in creating the Kinematic model for a 6 axis robot? I am very new to trying to develop my own robot arm;

Yes, in the non-auto-sourced terminal it hangs building an empty workspace. I don't think there are any new python packa

I followed your instructions exactly and it behaves the same as before. Hangs after BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is on :( Thank yo

It threw compiler errors like crazy, and the solution to that was the C++11 switch. Not technically related to the origi

We have the ABB driver communicating with ROS, but we are having difficulties issuing commands to the robot.

So far we haven't been able to find any documentation on how to send trajectories to the robot, so we have been going through all of the code to try and understand it better. It seems like the ABB driver is a complete solution, however; we haven't been able to find which node we are able to send trajectories from. We would like to use a planned path from Moveit (Rviz) to create our trajectory and then send that trajectory to the robot.
