1.Installation and Compilation

1.1 Install Dependency and Construction

Install SDK and Related Dependencies

sudo apt install python3-pip

# Install the newest SDK
pip3 install elirobots transforms3d pytest rosdepc

sudo rosdepc init

rosdepc update

Download and Compile Development package for Elite Robots ROS

# Create Work Space Index
mkdir ~/catkin_ws && cd ~/catkin_ws

# Copy Elite ROS Function Package
git clone git@github.com:Elite-Robots/ROS.git

cd ROS

# Install Dependencies
rosdepc install --from-path src --ignore-src -y -r

# Compile
catkin_make

1.2 Use Tool Scripts

In addition, several tool scripts are provided for minimize environment deployment.

└── tools
    ├── 00_auto_install.sh
    ├── 01_depends_install.sh
    └── 02_source_rosws_env.sh

01_depends_install.sh

When using the related software of the ROS platform, there will be some errors during operation due to missing some of the software package. Based on some existing software packages, we have made a one click installation script. If you find some other software packages that still missing, please inform us through issues or email, and we will update them as soon as possible.

How to use

cd tools
./01_depends_install.sh

02_source_rosws_env.sh

When using ROS, the workspace of ROS need to be frequently added to the environment variable in the terminal. Through this script, the current workspace is automatically written into the environment variable, so the code of source devel/setup.bashrc will no longer needed frequently.

How to use

cd tools
./02_source_rosws_env.sh

2. Launching

Currently supports three modes: virtual mode, simulation mode and real machine mode.

2.1. Virtual Mode

The virtual mode only needs to start Moveit and its own virtual robot arm.

source devel/setup.bash
roslaunch elite_moveit elite_moveit.launch robot:=ec66 mode:=fake

2.2. Simulation Mode

The simulation mode needs to start the simulation environment before starting the Moveit control program.

Start the simulation program, taking EC66 as an example, it can be change to EC63 or EC612

source devel/setup.bash
roslaunch elite_gazebo elite_gazebo.launch robot:=ec66

Start Moveit, taking EC66 as an example, it can be change to EC63 or EC612

source devel/setup.bash
roslaunch elite_moveit elite_moveit.launch robot:=ec66 mode:=sim

2.3. Real Machine Mode

Modify the IP address to match the actual robot. Guide for obtain the IP address of the robot: https://bbs.elibot.cn/forum/detail/topic/87.html

After ensuring that the computer can be connected with the real robot arm through the ping command, the IP address of the real machine is passed into the launch command as a parameter robot_ip:=192.168.1.201

Start the real robot controller, taking EC66 as an example, it can be change to EC63 or EC612

source devel/setup.bash
roslaunch elite_controller elite_controller.launch robot:=ec66 robot_ip:=192.168.1.201

Start Moveit, taking EC66 as an example, it can be change to EC63 or EC612

source devel/setup.bash
roslaunch elite_moveit elite_moveit.launch robot:=ec66 mode:=real
