Controlling E-pick Vacuum Gripper which is connected to UR5 using ROS.

Aakin

Currently, my E pick vacuum gripper is connected to UR5. I am able to control the E Pick vacuum gripper via UR5 Flex-pendant. I am able to control UR5 via my PC (using  ROS) by installing External Controller in UR5 and UR5 driver in my PC. Is there any way to control Gripper via my PC (ROS) without it being connected to my PC directly. It begins to connect to UR5 and UR5 connects to my PC. So, from the same ROS code, I can control both UR5 and gripper.

This is for the 2F gripper but ePick have similar control.

Currently, I am using https://github.com/UniversalRobots/Universal_Robots_ROS_Driver for controlling my UR5. So, How can I integrate https://gist.github.com/felixvd/d538cad3150e9cac28dae0a3132701cf with UR_driver.

You could eventually try to contact the developer of this library ?
