Compatibility with libfranka
Different versions of open source components compatible.
The following table provides an overview. It is recommended to always work with up-to-date versions.
The >= indicates that it is not tested against newer robot system versions, meaning
compatibility is not guaranteed (i.e. libfranka 0.2.0 is not compatible with the robot
system version 4.0.0).
The Robot system versions 2.x.x are not listed in the table below, but are included as compatible with the Robot system version >= 1.3.0. Therefore, these are compatible with the libfranka version 0.4.0 and 0.5.0.
