Hello everyone!  
This is my first post and I am sorry if it doesn’t respect all the rules.  
I want to use the example\_control\_loop.py to my UR3e robot but I don’t know how to set up the connection.  
I set up an Ip for my computer and for the robot. After this, do I need to upload rtde\_control\_loop.urp to the teaching pendant of the robot and run example\_control\_loop.py from my computer? Is this enaught? Can you give me some start points or some documentation to help me in the learning process?  
Thanks a lot for your support and I wish you a great day!
