Suggestion for update to the installation guide for URCap on a e-Series robot

[vetletj]

Been trying to integrate UR10e to ROS 2 foxy with the universal robots driver, and followed Installing a URCap on a e-Series robot. Our UR10e did not come with Remote Control enabled out of the box, and at least from what I've seen, there isn't any guides that have pointed this out. Therefore I suggest a small update to the installation guide, where this is something the user checks before starting to install URCaps.

Thank you for the suggestion. from my understanding it should not necessarily be required to enable remote_control mode to move the robot, but many features will indeed require this. Maybe we can reflect this a bit more.

Edit:

I was thinking on which features will require remote_control mode enabled. From my point of view this would be

• Use headless mode (as this is orthogonal with using the external control urcap, this would in my opinion not be a reason for including it into the urcap installation guide)
• Sending custom script commands to the robot
• Using a certain subset of the dashboard interface
• I am not sure about our IO setting method. As we set them over the RTDE interface directly, this might be directly affected by this.

I would suggest, that we add a different section about remote_control mode, where we explain in which situation it would be necessary to enter remote_control mode and how to enable it (similar to https://github.com/UniversalRobots/Universal_Robots_ROS_Driver/blob/master/ur_robot_driver/README.md#remote-control-mode)
