ACS712 amperage sensor
With the sensor limiting the current can the gripper now hold an object indefinitely or is there still a time limit? Going to try to add this to my MK3.
Yes it should be able to hold an object indefinitely. The nano sketch monitors the current and slowly backs off until the current is in an acceptable range. There is a test program in the 6.4 file called Test Servo Amps that will display the current gripper amperage in the manual entry window at the bottom. The current should not go over .8amps and the nano program should back off the current to the gripper if it goes over for too long.
