Minjerk python 3 #23

Closed NoeMurr closed 3 years ago

NoeMurr commented 3 years ago

I'm trying to run the simulator in ros noetic on ubuntu.

I compiled correctly the simulator. I needed to hand compile even the franka-ros package because the package is not available in noetic.

The biggest problem in compiling is that rosdep is not working so you have to run the command rosdep instal --rosdistro noetic [...] and for each package that it is saying to be missing you have to add it with apt install [...].

After that I tried to run the simulator with roslaunch panda_gazebo panda_world.launch but the scripts joint_trajectory_action_server.py and gripper_action_server where looking for the command python that was not present on my system so i changed it with python3.

Even after adding python3 I had some problems with the dependencies, the one listed in requirements.txtare not sufficient. Now python cannot find the package minjerk that is widely use inside the scripts. I can't find it on PyPI I think it is refering to this one. Is it that? if yes how do you advice to install it?

Hi, at the moment there is no support for ros noetic or python 3, and there are no immediate plans for development. I haven't tried setting it up on noetic/python3 yet, so I can't really give you any advice in this area, sorry about that. (see #13 -- I know they were also trying to create a noetic version, they may be able to help you).
