I'm writing a python program for my meca500 in robodk. I see when connected to the robot that the GripperOpen and GripperClose commands are supported and work when sent through the "connection" panel, but I don't see a way in the api to send those commands. Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

Hi Chris,

You can do:
robot.RunInstruction("GripperOpen", INSTRUCTION_CALL_PROGRAM)
and
robot.RunInstruction("GripperClose", INSTRUCTION_CALL_PROGRAM)

More information here:

This shouldn't be confused with RDK.RunProgram or RDK.RunCode() which will trigger a program in the RoboDK tree.
