I want to present my UR16e’s teach pendant’s screen on my computer via ethernet connection to the controller.

Same as the `start_ursim.sh` script which deploys a docker which you can connect to a simulated robot, I want to connect to a real robot and present the pendant on the computer screen.

I don’t need to move it just see the pendant on the computer’s screen since the robot is far.

OS: Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy  
Robot: UR16e

You can use VNC to connect to the robot’s interface. 🙂 But you first have to install x11vnc on the robot.

You can just use the HDMI output from the controller.
