00039 ROS node for controling a Robotiq S-Model gripper using the Modbus TCP protocol.
00040 
00041 The script takes as an argument the IP address of the gripper. It initializes a baseSModel object and adds a comModbusTcp client to it. It then loops forever, reading the gripper status and updating its command. The gripper status is published on the 'SModelRobotInput' topic using the 'SModel_robot_input' msg type. The node subscribes to the 'SModelRobotOutput' topic for new commands using the 'SModel_robot_output' msg type. Examples are provided to control the gripper (SModelSimpleController.py) and interpreting its status (SModelStatusListener.py).
