Hi Patrick,

I have recently done the same for "my" IRB6 manipulators, but i had slightly diferent approach. My real-time controller is implemented in OROCOS and offer jointTrajectoryAction interface.
I have used it to run arm_navigation with kinect, on those manipulators.
You can find everythink what i used  to achive this here :

Hi Gil,

I've ended up making my own arm controller that acts like the
pr2_etherCAT controller (similar to the way Gazebo does), so that I
can simply use the pre-compiled joint_tracjtory_action in
robot_mechanism_controllers and I get commanded efforts out on my end.
 So, now I'm at the point where I need to figure out the easiest way
to get move_arm up and running and sending joint tracjectories to my
controller.  Rather than piece this all together myself (the
documentation for arm_navigation stack seems to jump to
pr2_arm_navigation, which gets confusing, similarly I don't know which
of the various planners are deprecated), I would love too simply point
myself and my intern at your tool chain documentation.  Is this
something you see being testable by us in the near future?  I realize
that you guys are working hard, I'm just trying to get an ETA so we
know if we should wait a few days or start trying to sift through the
documentation, which deals a lot with messages and packages I think
might not be part of the process you want to use in e-turtle.

Thanks for the help,

Patrick
