Hello fellow enthusiasts,
I wanted to share my journey and experience in resolving the challenges faced while integrating the Robotiq gripper with RoboDK. I understand how frustrating it can be to encounter hurdles in such projects, but I am pleased to inform you that after considerable effort and experimentation, I have found a comprehensive solution that may be of great help to you all.
Problem Overview:
The integration of the Robotiq gripper with RoboDK has proven to be a complex task, leading to various issues during real-world deployment. Despite functioning flawlessly in simulation, there were numerous roadblocks, including gripper disconnection, script errors, and challenges with the "programrobodk.script" library.
Solution:
After numerous iterations and persistent testing, I have devised a reliable solution that ensures seamless communication and functionality between the gripper and the UR10e robot within RoboDK. I have compiled all the necessary files, scripts, and programs in a GitHub repository, making it easier for you to access and implement the solution.
GitHub Repository Link: https://github.com/MustafaImran287/Robot...ing-RoboDK
Instructions for Implementation:
Let's continue supporting each other in our shared passion for robotics and automation. Should you encounter any challenges or have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out, and I'll be glad to assist.
Happy building!

Instructions for Implementation:
- Disable firewalls to prevent communication issues.
- Set the Tech Pendant controls to Remote Control mode.
- Obtain the Robot IP from the Tech Pendant's "About" section (located in the upper right corner).
- Connect your Robot in RoboDK by clicking "Connect" in the toolbar and selecting the appropriate Robot UR10e.
- If you have added the Robotiq Gripper Mechanism from the RoboDK library, it will prompt you to select the Robot UR10e.
- In the RoboDK Tree, right-click on "Program" and select "Edit Python Script."
- Use VSCodium or any Python IDE to run the program. Ensure you have selected the debug configuration "Python."
- This will execute the program both in RoboDK simulation and the real environment.
- Please feel free to explore the repository, use the files, and adapt the solution to your specific requirements. I genuinely hope that this endeavor will save you valuable time and effort, leading to successful gripper and RoboDK integration projects.
