Jaco arm not moving #83

Open nakulgopalan opened 2 years ago

nakulgopalan commented 2 years ago

Description

Hi we have a Jaco arm with a robotiq gripper that does not move. We tested it with the robot joystick and the joystick keeps blinking without the lights on the joystick stabilizing. The gripper is functional the arm is not. The arm when connected through ros gives a 1015 error on ROS. The arm has power. We suspect it is stuck in a boot loop.

Version

We are using a ros kinetic repository for the arm. The arm is regularly showing a

Movo's configuration (No arm, single arm, double arm, 6DOF, 7DOF-S) It is a 7DoF S arm.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Power up the arm.
  2. Connect via ROS or kinova joystick.

Hi @nakulgopalan,

If the LED lights on your gripper are always flashing, this means the arm is not booting correctly. These two similar issues : kinova-ros#390 and kinova-ros#248

The complete procedure to flash your arm is explained here : https://github.com/Kinovarobotics/kinova-ros/issues/248#issuecomment-506026464

This will help you flash a new firmware on your help and it should make it functionnal again. Try this and let me know if you have any issues.

Best, Felix
