RoboTech Challenge 2024 Code

This repository contains both the Python server and the UR3e client program for communication and challenge behavior computations.

Run the server

To run the python server:

python3 python/robotech.py {run, cmd}

There are actually two options to run the server:

• run to run the sequencer
• cmd to open a console to speak directly with the UR3e client

PLC <-> Python Communication

We are using MQTT protocol.

1. Start the mosquitto broker

mosquitto -v -c mqtt/mosquitto.conf

(If "Error: Cannot assign requested address": Might need to change the IP adress to the your local IPV4 on the config file.)

2. To monitor nodes/topics use node-red

node-red

3. That's it, you can now publish and subscribe to topics in Python and PLC!

(tomorrow I'll post some pictures from PLC)
