Hi, I have a problem running a Kuka KR-8 / KRC4 Compact robot remotely through RoboDK.
I followed the setup instructionshereandhere. So the robot is connected, the ping is successful, and the robot moves as expected in the first P2P move of the test program.
At the first point the robot then rotates roughly 180 degrees so the tcp is facing towards the robot, instead of away from it, before attempting to follow along a series of linear movements. It eventually runs into a joint limit error.
The program runs with the TCP facing away as planned if running the visualisation in RoboDK while not connected to the robot, and if I publish the KRL.src and load the program to the robot via usb it also works.
Could this be a driver issue? I am using the 'apikuka' driver selected from the list in the connection panel. Is this the correct one? The only other Kuka driver I see in the list is for the IIWA
