Synchronizing MatlabToolbox to the iiwa controller #2

I am going to test your toolbox. The aim is to control the robots from a VR headset. However, right now I am struggling in synchronizing the MatlabToolboxServer onto the iiwa controller.

The project shows no errors, but when the synchronization begins, it fails in the middle with the following warning.

"The child nodes of catalog elements 'RootItem path="com.kuka/Project", usage=Topology, selection=1, Username: Project' and 'RootItem path="com.kuka/Project", usage=Topology, selection=1, Username: Project' are not compatible between the projects to be synchronized"

Can you check what could be the reason. I will try to check this on my own as well and update if I find a solution.

Hi,

I think the problem is the topology specified in the project differs from the topology of your own KUKA. The solution is simple, by copying the JAVA files of the KST found in (KST_1.7_iiwa_universal_noFlange.rar) into the default project that already came inside the controller of your robot. This is demonstrated in the video tutorial: https://youtu.be/fhzCyQRUNiA?list=PLz558OYgHuZd-Gc2-OryITKEXefAmrvae

PS: I highly recommend that you watch the tutorials of the KST: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz558OYgHuZd-Gc2-OryITKEXefAmrvae https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yTK0Gi0p3g&list=PLz558OYgHuZdVzTaB79iM8Y8u6EjFe0d8
