Dear all,

I would like to know if its possible to replace S4C+ controller with new IRC5 and keep old manipulator arm.

If its possible, then what is the procedure?

Regards  
Jacek

Dear all,

Has this discussion evolved because I’m very interested in the answers? I cannot find it in other places.

Thank you and regards.
