message type error

[RYANZYC]

I use robotstudio 6.04 to replace robot irb120 ,it show that server connects the other pc ip, but error occurs.
I am grateful for any help you have provided！

Hey, I haven't maintained this in a few years due to no longer having an ABB robot to test on so it hasn't been updated in some time- that particular error looks like a Python2/Python3 error. If you pass message.encode('ascii') instead of message to sock.send, it will probably fix it. There are also probably some forks which are more active (humhu) and updated for Python 3.

Best,
Mike

Thank you very much ,I will try it! I have a question about ip. If in robotstudio, should I use wether ip of pc or Virtual controller in following step?

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your support! I also encountered the same problem working on Python 3, and your reply really works!

Also for RYANZYC's IP problem, if you use virtual controller on RobotStudio, you need to set IP address in 127.0.0.1.
That is:
R = abb.Robot(ip='127.0.0.1')

IP 192.168.125.1 is for connecting to the real robot via Service Port on the Controller.

I adjust the code to work with Python 3 and Python 2. Send the pull request, but if anybody has the same problem feel free to use this repo: https://github.com/Milutin-S/open_abb
