Not able to execute cartesian trajectory on ABB IRB120 #165

Closed tbs845 closed 5 years ago

tbs845 commented 5 years ago

I am using using Ubuntu 16.04, Kinetic distro, ROS ABB experimental and ABB Kinetic-devel repos.

I am trying to get the robot to do a simple Cartesian trajectory. It is working on RViz simulation but the controller is not receiving the trajectory. Therefore the robot is not executing it. It works when I send individual points but not a trajectory.

You can find my node generating the Cartesian path here.

For your reference I have attached a screen shot of the terminal of what the RViz is reporting when I ROS launch my node. screenshot from 2019-01-15 15-12-27

I am not sure what is going on, I am following the tutorials, new to ROS. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

First: please do not post screenshots of terminal text.

It's just text, so copy-paste it into the issue. Use proper formatting for it then (three backticks before and after).

Two things to check:

why is joint_trajectory_action shutting down? Without that, nothing will move.
which MoveIt launch file are you starting? If it's demo.launch, nothing will move.

Finally:

I am following the tutorials

That's great, but I hope you agree that without you telling us which tutorials you are following exactly, this statement is not going to help us help you.

And as this is most likely not an issue with this package, but a configuration/usage issue, I'm going to close this ticket.

That does not mean that we can't continue diagnosing your issue though, so feel free to keep commenting on it.
