 Overall length: 100 mm
 Jaw opening: 10 mm
 Weight: 5 grams (approx.)

Signal Pinouts

The TS10 Straight Tweezer does not have any electronic connections or signal pinouts. It is a purely mechanical component.

Code Examples

### Example 1: Arduino-based Robotics Arm

In this example, the TS10 Straight Tweezer is used as the end effector of a robotic arm, controlled by an Arduino board. The arm is programmed to pick and place small objects, such as electronic components.

```cpp
#include <Servo.h>

// Define servo motor pins
const int servo1Pin = 2;  // Base rotation
const int servo2Pin = 3;  // Arm extension
const int servo3Pin = 4;  // Tweezer rotation
const int servo4Pin = 5;  // Tweezer jaws

Servo servo1, servo2, servo3, servo4;

void setup() {
  servo1.attach(servo1Pin);
  servo2.attach(servo2Pin);
  servo3.attach(servo3Pin);
  servo4.attach(servo4Pin);
}

void loop() {
  // Move arm to pick-up position
  servo1.write(90);
  servo2.write(100);
  servo3.write(0);
  servo4.write(0);
  delay(1000);

// Close tweezers to grasp object
  servo4.write(90);
  delay(500);

// Move arm to drop-off position
  servo1.write(0);
  servo2.write(50);
  servo3.write(90);
  servo4.write(0);
  delay(1000);

// Open tweezers to release object
  servo4.write(0);
  delay(500);
}
```

### Example 2: Python-based Pick-and-Place Machine

In this example, the TS10 Straight Tweezer is used as part of a Python-controlled pick-and-place machine, which automatically assembles electronic circuits.

```python
import time
import pyrealsense2 as rs
import numpy as np

# Initialize RealSense camera
pipeline = rs.pipeline()
config = rs.config()
config.enable_stream(rs.stream.color, 640, 480, rs.format.bgr8, 30)
config.enable_stream(rs.stream.depth, 640, 480, rs.format.z16, 30)
profile = pipeline.start(config)

# Define tweezers control function
def control_tweezers(angle):
    # Send signal to tweezers servo motor to rotate to specified angle
    # ( implementation depends on specific servo motor controller )
    pass

# Define object detection and pick-up function
def pick_up_object(x, y, z):
    # Calculate object position and orientation
    object_pose = calculate_object_pose(x, y, z)

# Move tweezers to object position
    control_tweezers(object_pose[2])

# Close tweezers to grasp object
    control_tweezers(90)

# Move tweezers to assembly position
    control_tweezers(0)

# Open tweezers to release object
    control_tweezers(0)

# Run assembly process
while True:
    # Get frames from RealSense camera
    frames = pipeline.wait_for_frames()

# Detect objects in frames
    objects = detect_objects(frames)

# Pick up and assemble objects
    for obj in objects:
        pick_up_object(obj.x, obj.y, obj.z)

# Wait for next assembly cycle
    time.sleep(1)
```

These examples demonstrate how the TS10 Straight Tweezer can be integrated into various IoT and robotics applications, such as pick-and-place machines, robotic arms, and assembly lines.
