Package Summary

Experimental packages for abb manipulators within ROS-Industrial.

Status

Experimental

EXPERIMENTAL: This status indicates that this software is experimental code at best. There are known issues and missing functionality. The APIs are completely unstable and likely to change. Use in production systems is not recommended. All code starts at this level. For more information see the ROS-Industrial software status page.

Overview

This stack is part of the ROS-Industrial program. It contains experimental packages that will be moved to the abb package once they've received sufficient testing and review.

Compatibility

Packages in distribution branches (ie: $ROS_DISTRO-devel) may be expected to be compatible with the corresponding ROS distribution (ie: the indigo-devel branch is usable on Indigo). In the absence of major differences between subsequent ROS releases, the -devel branch may be expected to be compatible with the next release as well (ie: indigo-devel may be used on Jade, as long as no jade-devel branch exists).

Installation

As all the packages in this repository are experimental, they will not be released through the official channels and must be build from source after cloning into a catkin workspace.

As this stack may depend on unreleased changes to the main abb stack, you must checkout the corresponding branch of the ABB stack ($ROS_DISTRO-devel) from source as well. Using released packages from abb (ie: installed through apt-get) is explicitly not supported.

As this stack may depend on unreleased changes to the main abb stack, you must checkout the corresponding branch of the ABB stack (kinetic-devel) from source as well. Using released packages from abb (ie: installed through apt-get) is explicitly not supported.

In a catkin workspace:

   1 cd /path/to/catkin_ws/src
   2 
   3 # retrieve the latest development version of abb and abb_experimental
   4 # NOTE: you MUST use the '-devel' version of abb
   5 git clone -b $ROS_DISTRO-devel https://github.com/ros-industrial/abb.git
   6 git clone -b $ROS_DISTRO-devel https://github.com/ros-industrial/abb_experimental.git
   7 
   8 cd /path/to/catkin_ws
   9 
  10 # checking dependencies
  11 rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro $ROS_DISTRO
  12 
  13 # building
  14 catkin_make
  15 
  16 # source this workspace (only if you don't have any others)
  17 source /path/to/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash

   1 cd /path/to/catkin_ws/src
   2 
   3 # retrieve the latest development version of industrial_core. If you'd rather
   4 # use the latest released version, replace 'kinetic-devel' with 'kinetic'
   5 git clone -b kinetic-devel https://github.com/ros-industrial/industrial_core.git
   6 
   7 # retrieve the latest development version of abb and abb_experimental
   8 # NOTE: you MUST use the '-devel' version of abb
   9 git clone -b kinetic-devel https://github.com/ros-industrial/abb.git
  10 git clone -b kinetic-devel https://github.com/ros-industrial/abb_experimental.git
  11 
  12 cd /path/to/catkin_ws
  13 
  14 # checking dependencies
  15 rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro $ROS_DISTRO
  16 
  17 # building
  18 catkin_make
  19 
  20 # source this workspace (only if you don't have any others)
  21 source /path/to/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash
