rosrun pr2_etherCAT reset_motors.py
pr2_etherCAT (realtime_loop) errors
Fatal : Cannot goto state 4
Example: pr2_etherCAT prints the following message then exits:
[FATAL] [1320906370.087105372]: Cannot goto state 4 for slave #0, product code: 11 (0xB), serial: 0 (0x0), revision: 0 (0x0)
Solution: Problems is caused by running old release of RIQ hand driver. Old release does not properly enable ECat Events needed by device.
Get newer release of RIQ Hand >= 0.1.2 .
- Power cycle hand, before running hand again
Error: plugin does not exist for product code: 11
Example: pr2_etherCAT gives the message:
[FATAL] [1296594157.363589591]: Unable to load plugin for slave #0, product code: 11 (0xB), serial: 0 (0x0), revision: 0 (0x0) [FATAL] [1296594157.363790612]: According to the loaded plugin descriptions the class 11 with base class type EthercatDevice does not exist. Declared types are 6805005 6805006 6805014 6805021 73542738 [FATAL] [1296594157.363852851]: Unable to configure slave #0
Solution: pr2_etherCAT uses EtherCAT device product ID (11 for RIQ hand) to find plugin for device. In this case plugin can't be found. Make sure riq_hand_ethercat_hardware is on ROS_PACKAGE_PATH.
rospack find riq_hand_ethercat_hardware
You should see something like:
/home/username/ros/riq_hand/riq_hand_ethercat_hardware
Also make sure plugin is found:
rospack plugins --attrib=plugin ethercat_hardware
You should see at least:
- riq_hand_ethercat_hardware
- ethercat_hardware
riq_hand_ethercat_hardware /home/username/ros/riq_hand/riq_hand_ethercat_hardware/ethercat_device_plugin.xml ethercat_hardware /home/username/ros/pr2_ethercat_drivers/ethercat_hardware/ethercat_device_plugin.xml
