glue_gun_trigger = 24

GPIO.setup(temp_pin, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.setup(glue_gun_enable, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.setup(glue_gun_trigger, GPIO.OUT)

# Set the temperature to 190C (374F)
GPIO.output(temp_pin, GPIO.HIGH)
time.sleep(2) # Wait for 2 seconds for the temperature to stabilize

while True:
    # Dispense glue for 0.5 seconds
    GPIO.output(glue_gun_trigger, GPIO.HIGH)
    time.sleep(0.5)
    GPIO.output(glue_gun_trigger, GPIO.LOW)

int main() {
  // Initialize the robotics platform
  RoboticsPlatform platform;

// Set the temperature to 185C (365F)
  glue_gun.setTemperature(185);
