Before pressing the button, orient the arm as shown below (with the gripper closed), and only then click the STORE OFFSETS button.

If you want the virtual arm on screen to update as you move the real arm, use TEACH mode described below.

149 -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.
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.

153 -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.
