I cannot get the Gripper to activate in URSimulator. followed the below steps (they work on physical machine but not in URsimulator)
• Tap the Installation button at the top of the screen. • Tap the URCaps button in the navigation pane on the left. • Select Gripper in the dropdown list. • Go to the Dashboard tab. • Check the Gripper is connected to the wrist checkbox. • Tap the Scan button to locate any connected Gripper
