I'm having trouble connecting to my meca500.

the ping test in roboDK works. and i can open the robots web interface and operate it as normal.

I solved this eventually. Robodk was pointed at the system python27 executable which i guess in not compatible. when i pointed it at my python 3 installation it started working.

Hi Chris,

It's strange you had the wrong Python path.
What version of RoboDK are you using? (Help->About)

Anyway, thanks for pointing out the issue.
