ntp_with_host set to false

default true was causing the java application to hang without a ntp server on the linux side.
Fixes #13

Hey,
we are using kuka sunrise 1.5.1.8 and are facing the same issue as Ahyan1 in Issue #13.
We are using the master 1.7 file instead of master. Is it possible that the bug fix is only in your master branch? If so, would it possible to put it in the older master as well so that we can use it?
If not, would you have any suggestions why this problem still occurs?
Thanks

Hi,
the change from this commit is also on the master-Sunrise1.7 branch, as you can see here. Also in your local git, ntp_with_host should be set to false in the config.txt file (if you don't want to use ntp).
This fixed a connection problem cause by ntp for network settings that were properly set up, so first make sure that all the settings are correct, like written here.

Can you ping the robot from your linux machine? If you start a roscore and ROSSmartServo, does the application connect to the ROS master (it should be printed out on the SmartPad)? Can you read the joint position from the robot on /iiwa/state/JointPosition?

Hey
thanks again for your answer.
I can ping the robot and after starting a ROS Master as well as ROSSmartServo I get some output on the tablet. Unfortunately I can't reproduce it right now because I don't have access to the robot but it was the exactly the same as by Ahyan1. I also have the same rostopics running and if I try to read the JointPosition Topic I get all 0 as answer.
I will check for ntp_with_host as soon as possible and let you know if that solved our problem.

Edit:
ntp_with_host was set to false
