Good Afternoon. My son and I are diving into Robotics and have been able to acquire a Thermo Scientific Catalyst 5 CRS Robot. From the looks of it, the unit is using a CRS C500C Controller.
When I connect my PC to the PC port on the controller I am able to see the controllers boot process.
And at the end of the boot process I see this.
But I am unable to type any commands at the shell because I believe the CatXPanel program that is being launched here (if im not mistaken) takes over the console.
I am just trying to find someone who can hep me get started on the right roadpath to controlling this robot arm.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You.!
