Robotiq URCaps compatibility with PolyScope version 3.6

nicolas_bouchard

Hi Pros,

On June, 19, 2018, Universal Robots released version 3.6 of PolyScope, its robot control software.

Please note that we are aware of compatibility issues with all Robotiq URCaps, except for Skills.

Robotiq recommends you continue using PolyScope 3.5 for the time being and wait for the imminent release of fixed Robotiq URCaps before upgrading to PolyScope 3.6, which prevents you from editing Robotiq program nodes.

Robotiq is currently working towards a URCap repackaging for all of its products in order to solve any compatibility issues that might arise following that release.

Please also note that downgrading to previous versions of Robotiq URCaps will result in the same incompatibility issue.

Thank you very much for your collaboration an understanding.

Is there a timeline on the release of support for Polyscope 3.6?

Not yet. We will make sure to inform everyone as soon as we have an official release.

Is there any update on the compatibility with higher Polyscope versions?
We have a couple of URs on higher Polyscope versions and can't get the Wrist Connector URCap for the Hand-E to work. 
Sadly it's seems infeasible to downgrade Polyscope without loosing custom calibration.

Hi @Iwohlhart,

Hello, is there any news on this?

Hi @diodenschein,

All of our URcaps were updated to be supported on the latest Polyscope versions. All are available on our support website.

About lwohlhart's issue, it was because an e-series coupling was connected to a CB robot, which is not a compatible combination.
