void setup() {
  pinMode(STRIPPER_PIN, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(CUTTER_PIN, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
  // Strip wire (adjust servo position to set stripping length)
  digitalWrite(STRIPPER_PIN, HIGH);
  delay(500); // wait for stripper to complete
  digitalWrite(STRIPPER_PIN, LOW);
  
  // Cut wire
  digitalWrite(CUTTER_PIN, HIGH);
  delay(200); // wait for cutter to complete
  digitalWrite(CUTTER_PIN, LOW);
  
  delay(1000); // wait 1 second before next operation
}
```
In this example, we use an Arduino Uno board to control the 68C Multitec Wire Stripper and Cutter. We connect the servo motor to the Arduino board to adjust the stripping length, and a relay module to control the cutter. The code demonstrates a simple automated process of stripping and cutting a wire.
### Example 2: Python Script - Wire Stripping and Cutting Automation

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
# Set up GPIO pins
STRIPPER_PIN = 17
CUTTER_PIN = 23
GPIO.setup(STRIPPER_PIN, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.setup(CUTTER_PIN, GPIO.OUT)
def strip_wire(length):
    GPIO.output(STRIPPER_PIN, GPIO.HIGH)
    time.sleep(0.5) # wait for stripper to complete
    GPIO.output(STRIPPER_PIN, GPIO.LOW)
    print(f"Wire stripped to {length}mm")
def cut_wire():
    GPIO.output(CUTTER_PIN, GPIO.HIGH)
    time.sleep(0.2) # wait for cutter to complete
    GPIO.output(CUTTER_PIN, GPIO.LOW)
    print("Wire cut")
# Example usage
strip_wire(10) # strip wire to 10mm length
cut_wire() # cut wire
```
In this example, we use a Raspberry Pi board to control the 68C Multitec Wire Stripper and Cutter. We define two functions, `strip_wire()` and `cut_wire()`, to automate the wire stripping and cutting process. The script demonstrates how to use the component in a Python automation script.
