3  Initial Setup and Walk-through 

1)

 

Mount the Wraptor™ securely to a robot arm or test stand. 

2)

 

Supply the Wraptor™ with 48V using the included power supply. 

3)

 

Plug the Wraptor™ into an Ethernet network. 

4)

 

Launch the “DS Manager” utility, select “DS Settings”. 

5)

 

Enter a free IP address on your Ethernet subnet.  Save your changes and exit the DS Manager. 

6)

 

Launch the TeraTerm application. 

7)

 

Type “HI” to perform a “Hand Initialize” on the Wraptor™. 

a.

 

Note: All commands must be followed by pressing <Enter>. 

b.

 

Note: All commands are case-insensitive and all white space is optional. 

8)

 

Get the initial temperature of the inner joint motors: Type “123 GET TEMP” 

a.

 

Note: “123 GET TEMP” is read as “Motors 

1, 2, 

and

 3,

 

Get

 your 

TEMP

erature” 

b.

 

Note: The Wraptor™ should return with its inner joint temperatures, in degrees C. 

9)

 

Move the fingers to position 20000: “123 M 20000” 

a.

 

Note: “123 M 20000” is read as “Motors 

1

2

, and 

3

M

ove to position 

20000

” 

10)

 

Move the spread (motor 4) to its mid-position: Type “4 M 18500” 

11)

 

Close finger 1: Type “1 C” 

12)

 

Open the whole hand: Type “O” (that is the letter ‘O’) 

13)

 

Get the final temperature of the inner joint motors: Type “123 GET TEMP” 

14)

 

Save the present positions for shutting down: Type “SAVE” 

15)

 

Remove power from the Wraptor™.
