Controlling the Robotiq 2-Finger Gripper with MODBUS Commands in Python

You can create robotic applications from many programming languages, as explored in this post by Alex Owen-Hill titled What is the Best Programming Language for Robotics? Normally the equipment you will be using will dictate somewhat the language you will use. This article presents example code for controlling a Robotq 2F Gripper with MODBUS RTU commands from a computer with a program created in Python.
