Pin Configuration

Lucky 6 Straight Tweezer Component Documentation
The Lucky 6 Straight Tweezer is a versatile IoT component used for precision picking and placing of small objects. It features six precise, straight tweezers that can be controlled electronically. This documentation explains the pinout and connection guidelines for the Lucky 6 Straight Tweezer.
Pinout:
The Lucky 6 Straight Tweezer has a total of 12 pins, divided into two rows of 6 pins each.
Row 1 (Left to Right):
1. VCC: This pin is the power supply input for the tweezers. It should be connected to a stable 5V DC power source.
2. GND: This pin is the ground connection for the tweezers. It should be connected to the ground plane of the system.
3. SCL: This pin is the clock input for the I2C communication protocol used by the tweezers.
4. SDA: This pin is the data input/output for the I2C communication protocol used by the tweezers.
5. TWEEZER_EN: This pin is the enable signal for the tweezers. A logic high (1) enables the tweezers, while a logic low (0) disables them.
6. STATUS_LED: This pin is connected to an on-board status LED that indicates the operational status of the tweezers.
Row 2 (Left to Right):
1. TWEezer1: This pin controls the first tweezers' opening and closing action. A logic high (1) opens the tweezers, while a logic low (0) closes them.
2. TWEezer2: This pin controls the second tweezers' opening and closing action. A logic high (1) opens the tweezers, while a logic low (0) closes them.
3. TWEezer3: This pin controls the third tweezers' opening and closing action. A logic high (1) opens the tweezers, while a logic low (0) closes them.
4. TWEezer4: This pin controls the fourth tweezers' opening and closing action. A logic high (1) opens the tweezers, while a logic low (0) closes them.
5. TWEezer5: This pin controls the fifth tweezers' opening and closing action. A logic high (1) opens the tweezers, while a logic low (0) closes them.
6. TWEezer6: This pin controls the sixth tweezers' opening and closing action. A logic high (1) opens the tweezers, while a logic low (0) closes them.
Connection Guidelines:
1. Connect VCC to a stable 5V DC power source.
2. Connect GND to the ground plane of the system.
3. Connect SCL and SDA to a microcontroller's I2C interface (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi).
4. Connect TWEEZER_EN to a digital output pin of a microcontroller to control the tweezers' enable/disable function.
5. Connect STATUS_LED to a current-limiting resistor (e.g., 1k) and then to a digital output pin of a microcontroller to control the status LED.
6. Connect each TWEezer pin (TWEezer1 to TWEezer6) to a digital output pin of a microcontroller to control the opening and closing action of each tweezers.
Note:
Ensure to provide a stable power supply and proper voltage regulation to the tweezers.
Use a logic-level converter if the microcontroller's I/O voltage is different from the tweezers' operating voltage.
Implement proper debouncing and ESD protection measures to ensure reliable operation of the tweezers.
Refer to the datasheet and manufacturer's guidelines for specific connection requirements and_handling precautions.

# Function to open a specific tweezer
def open_tweezer(tweezer_number):
  bus.write_byte(tweezer_address, 0x01 + tweezer_number)

# Function to close a specific tweezer
def close_tweezer(tweezer_number):
  bus.write_byte(tweezer_address, 0x02 + tweezer_number)

# Automate the tweezers to pick and place an object
while True:
  open_tweezer(1)  # Open the first tweezer
  time.sleep(1)
  close_tweezer(1)  # Close the first tweezer
  time.sleep(1)
  open_tweezer(2)  # Open the second tweezer
  time.sleep(1)

// Move the robot arm to the pick location
  arm.move_to(100, 50, 20);

// Open the second tweezer
  tweeter.open_tweezer(2);

// Wait for the object to be grasped
  delay(500);

// Close the second tweezer
  tweeter.close_tweezer(2);

// Move the robot arm to the place location
  arm.move_to(150, 100, 10);

// Open the second tweezer
