Controlling the EtherCAT Hand

Description: How can you send targets to the EtherCAT hand.

Tutorial Level: BEGINNER

Overview

Once the controllers are started (see the previous Tutorial), you can control the hand by sending targets to the controllers. There's one controller per joint, so you just need to have a publisher per joint you want to publish to.

Using a program

You can look at this example to see how to send a target to a given controller in c++.

Using a GUI

See sr_visualization.
