Migrate to ros-industrial/fanuc #5

Closed gavanderhoorn closed 5 years ago

gavanderhoorn commented 7 years ago

Issue tracking development in order to make fanuc_driver_exp the preferred ROS-Industrial driver for Fanuc robots.

[ ] fix traj_stop behaviour as much as possible (#3, but this depends a bit on ros-industrial/industrial_core (or fanuc_driver needs to be extended to implement the required msg support, like motoman_driver))
[ ] improve error handling in traj pt buffer (#4)
[ ] update tutorials / documentation (on ROS wiki, or use Sphinx docs)

Migrating to this newer driver would address/connect to the following issues: ros-industrial/fanuc#1, ros-industrial/fanuc#9, ros-industrial/fanuc#19, ros-industrial/fanuc#22, ros-industrial/fanuc#92, ros-industrial/fanuc#93 and ros-industrial/fanuc#106 (linear axes).

As interest in integrating this into ros-industial/fanuc has decreased (ros-industrial/ros_industrial_issues#49) I'm going to close this.

With better interfaces around the corner, I'm not sure how much longer we'll (I'll) support fanuc_driver and fanuc_driver_exp.

What do you mean by this? What better interfaces?

What better interfaces?

Hard real-time, external position control (ie: J519).

Using Karel+TP is never going to give the same amount of control over how the controller executes the motion.
