modify ur_driver/deserializeRT.py? (RobotStateRT, q_actual, unpacking RobotState Errors)

[philipsgithub]

Hi universal-team,

I had the same issues like described in issue #262. Could you please add support for RealTime_v3.4 like described in the xlsx-file at https://www.universal-robots.com/how-tos-and-faqs/how-to/ur-how-tos/remote-control-via-tcpip-16496/? Check my latest answer on issue #262 for more details.

Missing support for the new version was causing these errors.

Best regard

Thanks for reporting.

We're aware that ur_driver cannot be used with anything over 1.8.x, but we're currently not considering updating the deserialisers to support anything newer, as we'd like people to use the ur_modern_driver with newer controllers.

I'm not saying that PRs that add support for the 3.x series of Polyscope won't be considered, but there are other aspect of ur_driver that made it worthwhile to migrate to ur_modern_driver completely.

See also the wiki/universal_robot page, under Compatibility.

Closing as ur_driver will not be upgraded to be compatible with CB3 and up - it's deprecated. ur_modern_driver and the new Kinetic compatible rewrite should be used instead.
