I have been working on a vision project, incorporating a ur3e. I was hoping to be able to send a request over socket using python to receive coordinates from a PC program. Ive looked at several tutorials where the PC is controlling the arm remotely, however for my purposes i would not like all the…

Eh funny, just replied to someone else about this: [image] Controlling UR3 through Computer Robot Communication It really depends on the OS you’re going to be talking to. Linux is fine–can’t vouce for mac. Windows takes some extra steps. Let’s say I want to run an XMLRPC …
