ClamGripperCommandAction.h not available

[rojas70]

There are several files that #include ClamGripperCommandAction.h.

For example:
/clam_controller/src/clam_gripper_controller_test.cpp

This file is nowhere to be found. In clam_msgs, we only have the following files:
clam_msgs->

• action folder
  -- ClamGripperCommand.action (& other action files)
• CMakeLists.txt
  -package.xml

Please include the .h and .cpp files.

ClamGripperCommandAction.h is generated automatically by catkin, or at least it should be. Try running catkin_make several times.

Dave,

Thanks for your time. This is a great project. I think people all around the world, can use it to get their own arm and try all kinds of manipulation work. I am using it in China to help 2nd and 3rd year undergraduate students learn about middleware and manipulation.

About the . It must not have generated yet, because there are a number of other errors.

1. There was a pcl headers that was deprecated that I fixed.
2. There seems to be an issue with virtual functions in the "clam_moveit_ikfast_plugin". I suspect, this is not a real error either: kinematics_base exists in ./include/moveit/kinematics_base/kinematics_base.h and seems fine. The compiler error is below:

1. The real culprit seems in to be in the RobotState class. MoveIt upgraded their code. I think you point to this in pr2_moveit_tests broken moveit/moveit_pr2#27. Someone offered a solution in https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/moveit-users/2e6MFeCdNIk, but it is not clear to me how to address the change of JointStateGroup...

[davetcoleman]

Yea, I haven't really updated the code since Aug 25, 2013... anything that has changed then is likely broken. I am now working on other robots so can't put time into maintaining this one (for free), but I'll happily take any pull requests.

[rojas70]

I will try.

I went back to try to work with the Groovy version. There were two errors. I could fix one, not yet the other. Would like to ask for some quick feedback.

1. Fixed Error: In clam_moveit_controller_manager.cpp::MoveItControllerManager::ControllerState there is no longer a "_loaded" data member. Commented out this member.
2. Pending: In clam_arm_ikfast_moveit_plugin, the compiler cannot see that the IKFastKinematicsPlugin class inherits from KinematicsBase as in:

class IKFastKinematicsPlugin : public kinematics::KinematicsBase

I wonder if this has to do with the PLUGIN_EXPORT_CLASS. But all details seem to be working fine.

PLUGINLIB_EXPORT_CLASS(ikfast_kinematics_plugin::IKFastKinematicsPlugin, kinematics::KinematicsBase);

This is my current compiler error:

Last August I updated the Hydro branch to work with the latest changes, but the Groovy branch is likely much older and out of date.

[rojas70]

The errors I saw in Groovy seemed easier to fix than those in Hydro, but I may just be scratching the surface. Thanks

[davetcoleman]

I have tested all the software and now remember the status. There are very big changes between Groovy and Hydro in MoveIt!, this ClamArm software has already been ported to Hydro so reverting back to Groovy would require going into the commit log and finding the right now. Do not try to use the lastest commit with Hydro!

I just updated all the installation documentation for Hydro/Indigo, and I also did a lot of code changes. There is no longer a dependency on block_grasp_generator, fyi. See the above issue for more details.
