Hi,

I'm getting more and more lost trying to implement the move_arm properly, so sorry in advance if my questions are a bit messy.

At first I duplicated the move_arm package and completely modified it for my arm. It kind of worked but it didn't seem like a good solution, as move_arm seems to be very generic:
The only command output from this package seem to be a pr2_controllers_msgs::JointTrajectoryAction. So if I implement my own joint_trajectory_action_controller.cpp, which is a SimpleActionServer<pr2_controllers_msgs::JointTrajectoryAction>, to move my arm, will it work?

To use the generic move_arm package, I'm still missing a motion_planner (I think). Should I try to use the ompl_planner or the ik_constrained_planner or something else? When I'm trying to compile the ik_constrained_planner it's failing to build due to the generic_kinematics overlay (from https://code.ros.org/svn/wg-ros-pkg/stacks/kinematics/branches/generic_kinematics).

Hope you can give me some hints on what I am doing wrong.

Cheers,

Ugo
