I'm having an issue connecting to a Meca500 R3 arm via MacOS. When I try to connect, I get an error with apimecademicpy.py. Here's the error:

Code:

python /Users/brandon/RoboDK/RoboDK.app/Contents/MacOS/apimecademicpy.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/brandon/RoboDK/RoboDK.app/Contents/MacOS/apimecademicpy.py", line 26, in
exec("from v" + version_str + ".apimecademicpy import *")
File "", line 1, in
File "C:\RoboDK\api\robot\apimecademicpy.py", line 98, in
File "C:\RoboDK\api\robot\apimecademicpy.py", line 175, in MecaRobot
AttributeError: module 'mecademicpy.robot' has no attribute '_Message'

Note that despite the windows paths listed above, I assure you this is on MacOS. Specifically Ventura, robodk 5.5.3.-23011. I see the same error in the GUI log and running python apimecademicpy.py in terminal. Thanks for the help

You can try updating to the latest version of the mecademicpy library by unzipping the attached folder here:
/Users/brandon/RoboDK/RoboDK.app/Contents/Python/apimecademicpy/

Then, force stop the driver by double clicking on Disconnect and try connecting again.

I took this from the latest official version of mecademicpy:
https://github.com/Mecademic/mecademicpy

Hi Albert,

I tried as directed and no change. I'm not sure why the last part of the path you suggested was apimecademicpy and not mecademicpy. I assume a typo because the former doesn't affect the module __path__ when I directly import mecademicpy.robot, but the latter does. I confirmed with mecademic.robot.__version__ that I'm getting 1.3.0, which is the latest according to their GitHub. Looking through mecademic.robot code, I don't see any reference to _Message.

Given the error message AttributeError: module 'mecademicpy.robot' has no attribute '_Message', it seems like this is apimecademicpy calling something incorrectly, specifically mecademicpy.robot._Message. Does the compiled pyc call mecademicpy.robot._Message?

Also, I'll be away from work for the next week. So please don't let a lapse in my responses stop with any new help/suggestions. Thanks!

We updated RoboDK to the latest version for Mac, including our latest version of the apimecademicpy driver (which fixes the specific issue related to _Message).

You can take the latest version here:

Let us know if you still have issues.

Hi Albert, thanks for the follow-up! Things seem to be working as expected now.
