Detailed Description

This class controls the the SCHUNK five finger hand.

The controller manages all calls to the hardware and receives every feedback. All data is interpreted and stored in the apropriate objects that can be queried by others.

Note: Be carefull what you change in here as it interfaces directly with the hardware
