## 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
```
