Hi, are there any plans to fix this? I'd need to do some tests by the end of the week.

Hi @fedeceola,

Hi, with @AntonioAzocar we just tried to run the robot. It cannot complete the calibration of the right thumb. The motor of the proximal joint is moving but the finger doesn't close. Furthermore, the tactile sensor of the thumb is not working.

Hi. The rigth prossimal yoint of thumb has been replaced. The yoint was been tested by @fedeceola. cc: @sgiraz

Hi, actually I couldn't test the joint because, due to the issue in #1723, the right hand couldn't finish the calibration.

[AntonioConsilvio]

Hi @fedeceola! Today I checked the status of the robot.

All tendons were intact, but the right thumb proximal joint didn't work because the connector was quite detached from the MC4-PLUS.

Now all joints are working properly:

In addiction I fixed the configuration files, see the PR:

Hi, yesterday and today I did some tests. The thumb is working. I think that we can close the issue. Thanks!
