Re: [Pioneer-users] Question about controlling gripper

[Reed Hedges <reed@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Neither MobileEyes nor any of the example servers have controls for the 
gripper, so you will have to add that code to a server. You can copy one 
of the example servers and modify it.

Start by reading the ARIA and ArNetworking README.txt files, and their 
reference documentation.

You can add a "simple command" to the server, and access it from 
MobileEyes by adding the "custom commands" option to the toolbar 
(right-click on the toolbar) or accessing it from the menu.  This is a 
way to add any command to MobileEyes.
