Remove Control of 2F-85 Gripper on UR E-Series by Sending UR Scripts

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to control a 2F-85 gripper on a UR10e using an external computer. What I'm currently doing is URScripts over a UDP connection (port 30002). I set the UR10e into "Remote Control" using the teach pendant. I am able to send URScripts like the following, and the robot physically moves:

def myProg():
movel(p[0.27866, -0.52951, 0.60609, -2.955, 0.96807, -0.02971], a=1.2, v=1, t=0, r=0)
end

However, I'm trying to do the same thing (send URScripts over UDP) for the gripper commands, and they do not seem to work. For example, sending the following over a UDP connection results in no motion:

def myProg():
rq_activate_and_wait()
rq_move_and_wait(1)
end

However, when I run the robot in local mode and run this program over a local URScript that I programmed on the Teach Pendant, the gripper moves accordingly.
