Code Examples

### Example 1: Basic Tweezer Control using Arduino

This example demonstrates how to control the Lucky 3 Straight Tweezer using an Arduino board.
```c++
const int tweenerPin = 9;  // PWM pin for tweener control

void setup() {
  pinMode(tweenerPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  // Open tweezers (stroke = 10mm)
  analogWrite(tweenerPin, 255);
  delay(1000);

// Close tweezers (stroke = 0mm)
  analogWrite(tweenerPin, 0);
  delay(1000);
}
```
In this example, we connect the tweener pin to a PWM-capable digital pin on the Arduino board. We then use the `analogWrite()` function to set the PWM duty cycle to 0 (0mm stroke) or 255 (10mm stroke), effectively opening and closing the tweezers.

### Example 2: Tweezer Control using Python and Raspberry Pi

This example demonstrates how to control the Lucky 3 Straight Tweezer using a Raspberry Pi and Python.
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
tweenerPin = 18  # GPIO pin for tweener control
GPIO.setup(tweenerPin, GPIO.OUT)

while True:
    # Open tweezers (stroke = 10mm)
    GPIO.output(tweenerPin, GPIO.HIGH)
    time.sleep(1)

# Close tweezers (stroke = 0mm)
    GPIO.output(tweenerPin, GPIO.LOW)
    time.sleep(1)
```
In this example, we use the RPi.GPIO library to set up the GPIO pin for output and control the tweener using the `GPIO.output()` function. We toggle the pin high (10mm stroke) and low (0mm stroke) to open and close the tweezers.
