3.9 UR Package without URCaps
Robotiq provides you with a
driver package that enables direct serial communication (via USB) to your
controller.
Universal Robots
UR
If your Universal Robots’ controller is not compatible with the URCaps package (see Section 3.7 for compatibility), you can install the driver package. This
package allows programming of the Gripper with scripts in a Polyscope program. It includes program templates and examples to help you get started with
your own custom program. It also contains the Gripper toolbar for jogging and controlling the Gripper.
For details on controlling the Gripper, see

Software Packages
The URCaps package also contains a driver package that is different from this section’s. If you have already installed the URCaps, you do not
need to install the driver package. This section applies to Robotiq’s software excluding the URCaps package. If you wish to use the URCaps
package, refer to

controller compatibility). To view your Polyscope version, go in the Home page of the teach pendant and tap the About button. A window
