## Option Function compatibility
130+
131+
The current version of MotoROS2 (`0.1.2`) is ***not*** compatible with the following Option Function(s) and/or other MotoPlus application(s):
132+
133+
- Simple Connect
134+
135+
*Simple Connect* is an application installed by Yaskawa America to manage peripheral equipment in a robotic work cell.
136+
It is primarily installed on robots that were purchased with an arc-welding configuration.
137+
This application is not compatible with MotoROS2 at this time and must be removed to run MotoROS2.
138+
139+
- Absolute Accuracy Compensation
140+
141+
This feature improves accuracy of supported robots when performing Cartesian motions from INFORM jobs.
142+
MotoROS2 currently does not support Cartesian motion and therefore can't benefit from *Absolute Accuracy Compensation*.
143+
Please refer to [Yaskawa-Global/motoros2#206](https://github.com/Yaskawa-Global/motoros2/issues/206) for an investigation into the compatibility of MotoROS2 with controllers with *Absolute Accuracy Compensation* enabled.
144+
145+
Please post questions about compatibility of MotoROS2 with specific controller features, Option Functions and/or MotoPlus applications in the [Discussion](https://github.com/Yaskawa-Global/motoros2/discussions/categories/q-a) forum.
146+
Include information on the specific controller and robot model, as well as system software version and information on the MotoPlus application and/or controller feature in question.

After robot-calibration, the transform between the shared `world` frame and each robot's `base` frame will be known, and MotoROS2 will include it in the transforms it broadcasts.
