Re: Force-Torque Sensor is not detected
Same here, UR replaced the tool flange and that resolved the issue.

Re: Magically Changing RPY Values
Yes, there is a recent post on the UR forum regarding this. There are two solutions to the pose, you are seeing the other solution. We see the same phenomenon when using a rotation vector. What's really confusing is when using RTDE it reports one value on the stream and the display shows the other value. It's with how they do scaling on the data so that it appears more stable than what is being streamed.
Here is the link to the UR forum post https://forum.universal-robots.com/t/state-actual-tcp-pose-results-in-wrong-pose/14498/7

Re: Force/Position Data acquisition
Hello JJ3564 !
It is possible for you to read the data of the sensor using the following functions (described in the user manual of the copilot, page 42) :
Let me know if this helps.
Best regards.

Re: How does one control LED lights on Robotiq Wrist Camera via OpenCV in python script
@bcastetsThat is unfortunate, it would be nice to see this functionality added in the future.
My short script to set/test the camera focusing can be found here:

Re: UR robot teach pendant freezing after program start
The only time we’ve really seen the pendant on e-series lock up is when logging lots of messages to the log using the textmsg() function. Other than that, look for any issue in a thread where you are performing very heavy computations, lots of string manipulation, etc.
Another thing to try is upgrading to the latest version of Polyscope as they have been working to reduce the memory intensity of Polyscope to help with these controller freezing situations.

Re: Force-Torque Sensor is not detected
Not sure. We upgraded software (both Polyscope and Co-pilot) with no impact. It was intermittent, we could sometimes run a for a time, then the problem would happen again. When it happened, the robot wouldn't boot.
The robots it happened on, were all purchased within a few weeks of one another.
Replacing the tool-flange fixed the issue.

Re: Force-Torque Sensor is not detected
Sorry about that, not sure what happened to my comment.
In any event, yes. UR replaced the tool-flanges of the robots with the issue and the problem has not recurred.

Re: Control Robotiq gripper mounted on UR robot via Socket communication (python)
Fantastic, this is exactly what I was looking for! I have had many issues while connecting through python and this works.
I can perform almost everything! Thank you so much!

New Product Launch: Say "Bonjour" to Robotiq Screwdriving Solution
Hi Pros,
We’re proud to announce the launch of the new Robotiq Screwdriving Solution. Designed to be highly flexible and adaptable, this off-the-shelf solution simplifies deployment of your robotic screwdriving cell.
Robotiq Screwdriving Solution gets the work done right in simple small-screw assemblies. With 5-minute changeovers, you can produce multiple products per assembly line. Plus, it's affordable and easy to deploy.
Control the screwdriver directly from the teach pendant. With built-in programming and error-proofing intelligence in the pick and screwdriving nodes, this task has never been so easy to automate.
The Robotiq Screwdriving Solution integrates seamlessly with Universal Robots cobots, so users can deploy it rapidly and start production faster. This brings added flexibility to business processes while keeping workers safe.
Watch the intro video here.
See the Screwdriving Solution product page to learn more about the features, or contact our technical support team to get more info.
Cheers!
Catherine
Re: controlling an ouput light when the program is paused
You could do this a couple of ways. Outputs can be set to have different run state settings. One those is high when stopped so a light would turn on anytime the program is not playing (stopped, paused, protective stop, etc) and this would be automatic.
The other option is to let the PLC do this. You can access the robot run state via EIP or Profinet and then you could determine to only turn a light on when paused or when in protective stop, etc.
