Hi Everyone,

I was able to run the simulator on my local machine and it works. But, now I want to be able to write script code to run in the simulator. Can someone provide some resources on how I may go about doing this? I came across [GitHub - UniversalRobots/Universal\_Robots\_ToolComm\_Forwarder\_URCap: Utility to forward the UR Tool Communication Interface (RS-485) to a remote PC.](https://github.com/UniversalRobots/Universal_Robots_ToolComm_Forwarder_URCap) this link, but wasn’t able to quite set it up.

Thanks for the help

It would be great if there would be some way to use ROS programs to control the arm.
