I'm attempting to add support for our company's robot (http://www.corobot.net) and am having problems with the gripper interface as it is currently specified.
Most of the interfaces seem fairly generic (position2d can support all sorts of different bases for example) but the gripper interface is very limited, and seems to be designed for a specific robot's gripper. Unfortunately our robot doesn't match the model. Our robot has a pressure sensor in the gripper and the ability to set the width of the gripper opening from fully closed (0 inches) to fully opened (1.3 inches). With the current gripper interface supporting OPEN and CLOSE commands I would need to add code to watch the pressure sensor when closing until it sees pressure. I'm OK with this but I'd like a lower-level interface as well to allow the client to specify the amount of opening and to read how much pressure is being exerted by the gripper. Did I misread the interface or is there some other generic way to provide what I need to do? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
