IP Address not recognized: using driver with the Gazebo sim

[tera-bytes]

Hi,

I'm working on Humble and using the Gazebo simulation from the other repo for the ur5e. When I try to launch the ur_robot_driver with my machine's ip address, it fails to connect to robot with that ip address. Is there something specific we need to use for the Gazebo simulation?

Please take a look at the Universal_Robots_ROS2_Gazebo_Simulation README, it describes what you have to start in order to be able to simulate a robot in the Running Simulation section. In short: For the simulated case you don't need to start this driver, you only need to start the gazebo launch files:

ros2 launch ur_simulation_gazebo ur_sim_control.launch.py

Please let us know if you have further questions or problems with this.
