Overview
This package enables specific ROS nodes to communicate with Fanuc industrial robot controllers, using the protocol defined in the simple_message package.
Jade compatibility
The packages in this repository have not yet been released for ROS Jade (see fanuc/issue 180 for more information).
The packages are however fully compatible with ROS Jade, and can be used after building them from source.
In a catkin workspace:
1 cd /path/to/catkin_ws/src
2
3 # retrieve the latest development version of industrial_core. If you'd rather
4 # use the latest released version, replace 'indigo-devel' with 'indigo'
5 git clone -b indigo-devel https://github.com/ros-industrial/industrial_core.git
6
7 # retrieve the latest development version of fanuc. If you'd rather
8 # use the latest released version, replace 'indigo-devel' with 'indigo'
9 git clone -b indigo-devel https://github.com/ros-industrial/fanuc.git
10
11 cd /path/to/catkin_ws
12
13 # checking dependencies: this may install additional packages
14 rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro jade
15
16 # building
17 catkin_make
18
19 # source this workspace (only if you don't have any others)
