How can I use the Gripper

Great Software. But how can I use the Gripper with ucs? Can't get working.

Hi,

Thanks for your interest in UCS!
The current version of UCS you can find online is not compatible with gripper.

But we're about to release a new version of UCS within two days.
And the latest UCS V1.1.7 is compatible with gripper!

Tips:
I tried UCS V1.1.7 with gripper. It works, but you'd better set certain delay time for the gripper to stretch and close.
As what I've tried, 5 seconds are enough for a complete "close" of the gripper.

My first time using the gripper and I can't get it to do anything at all. I press the button and it acts like nothing is even hooked up. I get no noise or anything. The gripper came fully closed and I can't open it. I want to use it.

EDIT: OOPS! It works just fine! I forgot to plug in the power cord at the base. You know, that would seem pretty obvious for the software to check and warn me... is that even detectable by the arduino or the uArm Studio?

If you run any project in Studio without power cable on, you'll get a notice.
