Is there a simple way to acess the current robot state in a URCAP prgram? I cant seem to find anything specific in the documentation regarding this. Thank you!!

Thanks for the response! I looked at the link, but I dont htink this would work for the use case I am looking for. I basically need to be listening for the chnage in robot state, to trigger an action based on that state. It seems like setting up a daemon and accessing the RTDE with python might be …

Can always just wrap the call to the dashboard in a thread (or Timer Task) that runs repeatedly in the background. Good luck with the RTDE interacting with the URCAP. I’ve hated every minute I’ve spent trying to make that work.
