Yes it is possible to login to the UR5 robot this way.
What do you want to do exactly? Do you want to use a fresh installation file?
Or do you want te replace the image with a fresh one?
NOTE: Reflashing your SD card or USB stick will delete all your programs and calibration files, make sure you always have a full backup before doing any memory replacement or image re-install.
First of all it is not a noob question. I’ll walk you through it real quick.
The Universal Robot runs on Linux. You only see the User Interface on the teach pendant, but you can actually login to the Linux OS that is running on the robot.
Linux has a sepcial remote login port which you can use to login to execute commands or transfer files.
This is very helpful! But how do I know what my port number is? And the program is telling me that my host number “does not exist”. Would you happen to know why?
Make sure the IP address is in the same range, and the subnet mask is the same. The IP address range is different in the screenshots, don’t get confused by that!!
