[ros-users] [Discourse.ros.org] [ROS-Industrial] Integration of 6-axis manipulator and 2-axis positioner (external axes)

[gavanderhoorn via Discourse.ros.org]

@tdl-ua: can you describe the configuration of the Yaskawa controller? How are all the axes configured there? Two groups (one for the 6 axes of the robot, the turntable in another)?

If this is setup as a multi-group system, then you need to configure `motoman_driver` for that. I can't be certain that you've done that from the description you've given here and the packages that you've made available.

Just to make sure: refer to [this tutorial](http://wiki.ros.org/motoman_driver/Tutorials/Creating%20a%20Dual-Arm%20System) for an example configuration file (note: the title says "dual arm system", but the idea is the same for any multi-motion group setup).

Do note that there are (still) some issues with such setups. Be sure to check the `ros-industrial/motoman` issue tracker.
