Moving the Robotiq Hand_E Gripper using the UR driver

#1
Hello,

I have been trying to command my Robotiq "Hand-E" gripper using the option "Run on the robot". I believe I need to use the old driver shared in this link: https://robodk.com/files/upload/progrobo...ol-com.zip. When I connect the robot with the other more recent driver: https://robodk.com/files/upload/progrobodk-rq.zip I get an error message file not supported. But with the old version, no errors, and the gripper gets activated. The problem is when I run a program that calls a function like rq_move_and_wait( 255 ), the robot waits forever and the command never executes. So seems like the robot receive the script but is not able to read the commands related to the gripper. Although I can command robot movements of UR5e using the option "Run on robot" but nothing related to the gripper.
In contrast, if I "send the program to the robot"  the gripper can be controlled. Here are my driver's options settings attached and I would appreciate any help to help me control the gripper of my UR5e robot.

To send the program calls from RoboDK to the robot using the driver you should check the option to Trigger program calls on the robot from the Tools-Options-Drivers tab.

If you still have issues, I recommend you to check the version of the URCaps required by your RobotiQ gripper and any messages you see in the logs (RoboDK log or the UR robot controller). If you can send us your RoboDK project file we can help you better.

Hello Albert,

I tried checking the box you mentioned but there is not change. I can see that the gripper gets activated when I connect the robot but not able to receive the commands and wainitng until timeout. I send a previous message with the file and the URCAP version and log from my Teachpendant.

Can you share the log of the robot connection from RoboDK?
Did you place the progrobodk.script file in the RoboDK/bin directory?
