Hello Community,

i try to connect the UR5- Universal Roboter with the C-API. But i think there is no current example how it works. Can anyone explain me how it works?

1.Questions:

  1. How can i compile the Sample - Code?
  2. How can i Transfer the C-Code to the UR5?
  3. How can i Programm the UR5 without any documentation for it?
  4. Does anyone have some samples for me?

Thank you for your help.

Greetings.

Hi SakulRelda,

just have a look to the github-repository here and the C-API-documentation here. Insert "manipulator"instead of "right_arm". Compiling works using the command catkin_make in the command line. Have a look at this tutorial.

Using all that you'll be able to use the UR5 through C-API.

Best regards

Note that the C-API driver is only compatible with system versions up to 1.8 on CB2 controllers. CB3 controllers are not supported (see also wiki/ur_c_api_bringup).
