Page 12: Working With Qb Softhand Urcap Plugin
100%: the hand is completely closed. During the Program execution, each time this URCap node is reached, the given closure value reference command is sent to the qb SoftHand research over a RS485 serial communication channel. Note: it is recommended to provide enough time for the grasping (i.e. at least a one- second Wait Child). - Page 13 In any case, the closure value cannot be greater than 100%, nor be smaller than 0%. 4) You can either close the qb SoftHand research to the given closure value (when it says "test closure") or reopen it (when it says "reopen") to test how the hand actually behaves and check whether it is suitable for the current task or needs any adjustment.
- Page 14 In such a case, you have to reconnect the qb SoftHand research properly and press the reconnect button; in few seconds the connection should be restored and you can continue from you were stuck.
