I am student and i want to build my own robot arm. I have finished my robot urdf file and MoveIt! setup. Now I have bought Panasonic Servo and motor(MINAS A5B EtherCAT servo drives). But i can't communicate servo with Ros and don't know which package i can use. Should i use ros_control package? Can anyone guide me?
Any hints would be appreciated!
