## How to Start the Docker Compose
1. **Prerequisites**
* Ensure you have Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system (Instructions can be found on the official Docker website: [https://www.docker.com/](https://www.docker.com/))
2. **Starting the Containers**
* Navigate to the project directory in your terminal:
```bash
cd UR-Robotiq
```
* Run the following command to start the Docker Compose:
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
* Give X11 permission to accept the stream of the container window:

## Working with UR + Robotiq
In general you need to start up the UR Robotiq Controller,
here the *robot_ip* has to be defined and if you want to start up the real robot or use fake hardware and if you want to launch rviz!
```bash
ros2 launch ur_robotiq_description ur_robotiq_control.launch.py robot_ip:=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd use_fake_hardware:=<true/false(default)> launch_rviz:=<true/false(default)>
```
In addition you can start up the moveit interface:
```bash
ros2 launch ur_robotiq_moveit_config ur_robotiq_moveit.launch.py use_fake_hardware:=<true/false(default)>
```
### use_fake_hardware:=true
Terminal 1:
```bash
ros2 launch ur_robotiq_description ur_robotiq_control.launch.py robot_ip:=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd use_fake_hardware:=true launch_rviz:=false initial_joint_controller:=joint_trajectory_controller
```
Terminal 2:
```bash
ros2 launch ur_robotiq_moveit_config ur_robotiq_moveit.launch.py use_fake_hardware:=true
```
### servoing
Terminal 3:
```bash
ros2 launch ur_robotiq_servo ps5_servo.launch.py
```
After launching you need to change the controller to enable the servo mode.\
Terminal 4:
```bash
ros2 control switch_controllers --deactivate joint_trajectory_controller --activate forward_position_controller
```
