How can I control the robotiq_85 gripper in the ROS-noetic ?

MZJR 2021-12-01

I tried to install it according to http://wiki.ros.org/robotiq, but faild when I run

rosdep install robotiq_modbus_tcp

Version:

Ubuntu20.04 noetic

Connection method:

Robotiq_85gripper plug directly into the flange interface at the end of the UR5e, PC and UR control box are connected by network cable

Did you ever figure this out? Wondering why no one from Robotiq has responded.

Would be interesting to know. I'm struggling with the same issues.

I am also trying to control Robotiq 2F-85 gripper but I am doing it from RoboDK software.
