Update Summary

  • 1.18.0/1.18.1

    • Strengthen the code, fix some hidden bugs, and eliminate security risks.
    • Supports CMake compilation
    • Fix document errors and variable name errors

  • 1.17.0/1.17.1

    • Change some API names

  • 1.16.0

    • Added parameter to support get raw data of the Six-axis Force Torque Sensor
    • Added an interface to control xArm Gripper G2
    • Optimize the interface for controlling BIO Gripper G2
    • Extend the get_joint_states interface

  • 1.15.0

    • Added the Six-axis Force Torque Sensor collision detection related interfaces
    • Added support for the new version of BIO Gripper control interface

  • 1.14.2

    • Fix the 503 interface protocol identification error issue
    • Added sync parameters to some gpio interfaces to support immediate execution (requires firmware 2.4.101 or above)
    • Added XArmAPIWrapper to C# calls to support simultaneous control of multiple robotic arms
    • Added new interface to support obtaining some error information

  • 1.13.0

    • Compatible with the standard Modbus TCP protocol, providing part of the standard Modbus TCP protocol interface
