OmniCore and IRB 1100 support about abb HOT 4 CLOSED

Perhaps @jontje can say something about the compatibility of existing RAPID code (and thus the driver) with the new controller infrastructure.

I am not aware of any major change in the RAPID language for RobotWare 7, and I would be a bit surprised if it would require a big effort to get the current RAPID code, and driver, to work with the new controller.

I'm not aware of any work towards OmniCore support specifically.

I've also transferred this to the main repository as the driver you're referring to is hosted here.

@garyedwards: as the new controllers haven't really been released yet, we can't really act on this right now. In addition, according to @jontje, the new controller should be fully bw-compatible, so the assumption right now would be that abb_driver "just works".

Based on this I'm closing this issue as I believe @jontje answered your question.

If it turns out the driver doesn't work and we need to change something -- as far as we don't all migrate to abb_libegm and abb_librws -- we can re-open.
