So.

1. I connect my falcon to my laptop
2. I start ROS with roscore
3. I start vrep
4. example/interface to haptic device
5. I can see a little ball with axies, and a moving cube, a sphere, other two stuff.
If i am moving my falcon it is doing nothing. I cannot feel and touch anything it is not moving.
There is no any message about fail.

Cheers

Now you have several possibilities. You will first have to know how you want to control it. You could read the cursor position and have the robot tip follow it. Better would be to read the cursor position and use that as velocity vector for moving the robot tip, since the robot tip's workspace is quite large. I suggest you first try a few simple examples, moving a cube or so.

I would like to control via ROS. My expecting is there is a fix possition (0,0,0) of falcon and if i puch a little up TCP of the robot would start going to up and if i am not pushing the falcon to up it would be back to "home possiotion" and the robot stops at its possition.
So, it wants to be using velocity.

Cheers
