Thorlabs controlled grabber has problems. #2

The KCube DC servo does not stop immediately when the function is called. Thorlabs reports that the function doesn't work in WPF applications because it is not a rotational servo, but is a linear actuator.

Two other hardware options have presented themselves for use. I will make two different forks for the two options.

The first option will be a Zaber controlled grabber daisy-chained in with the other Zaber products.

The 2nd will be an Actuonix Micro Linear Actuator (L12-50-100-6-R) controlled by the Arduino that controls the blower and reads from the sensors.

All Zaber branch created. Code written, but is currently untested.
