154 -Assuming the gripper has been properly calibrated, The number below represents the opening at the tip. Fully closed should correspond to 0 degrees. We added a feature where the servo stop when it feel a current raising, this allows the user to ask for a full close and have a good grip on the item picked.
154 +Assuming the gripper has been properly calibrated, The number below represents the opening at the tip. Fully closed should correspond to 0 degrees. In order to grasp an object, DO NOT have the servo rotate to a position which it cannot reach. In order to ensure the gripper servo does not go into error mode, the gripper should not exert much force on the object.

157 +1. Using the arrows, close the gripper until friction between the foam and the object prevent the object from falling out or moving.
158 +1. DO NOT apply too much pressure, or else the servo's current will spike and it will go into error mode and need to be reset.
