Hey all,

I'm a mechanical engineer but my boss told me to run ROS on UR5. You can image what it feels like. I can't get UR connected to my computer. Any help would be deeply appreciated, PLEASE HELP.

On my windows, not in virtual box,
I use ping IP_OF_THE_ROBOT, and it says "Ping request could not find host IP_OF_THE_ROBOT. Please check the name and try again."


Here is my setup:
1) I have virtual box running 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04, ros indigo, 

2) Teach pad: EtherNet/IP Adapter is running;
I use static network as in the tutorial.
IP:192.168.1.102
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
default gateway: 192.168.1.1
Prefered DNS Server: 192.168.1.1
Alliterative DNS server: 0.0.0.0

3) Here is my ipconfig:

What is the network configuration of virtual box?  See the different types described here: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html#network_nat 

If this isn't set correctly, the UR driver will not work.  From memory, I believe it needs to be set to "bridged" adapter.

Hey,

Thank you for your reply. I used bridged adapter. But the problem is, under the Windows, I can't use "ping IP_OF_THE_ROBOT" to get anything. 

I just changed my computer's IP address to 192.168.1.10 and my UR 5 to 192.168.1.09. Everything else is the same. But I still can't use  "ping IP_OF_THE_ROBOT" to get anything.

Any ideas?

Just for clarification. You are entering the following on the windows command line "ping 192.168.1.09" and that is not working.

Hey,

I know what's going on here. Instead of using "ping IP_OF_THE_ROBOT", I should use "ping 192.168.1.09". Thank you for helping me out. 

You are the best. 

LOL, I'm so stupid
