nexform-tech released litegrip-python v1.0.0, removing LiteGrip.set_force from the public API as a breaking change, stating that the method cannot determine whether the gripper is holding an object: when called on an empty gripper, it rushes toward the mechanical limit at a maximum of 692 mm/s and 0.25 Nm, exceeding the calibrated closed-side limit by 7.19 mm, with a measured peak force of 25.2 N while the set value was only 5 N. The alternative is grasp(force_n, hold_s), which first closes onto the object before applying force, and is currently the only path that continuously outputs feedforward torque frames.
