Firmware command to move iSwap out of the way

Hi all,

I have a STAR that has an iSWAP equipped. I am trying to move some Integra automation friendly reservoirs with my CORE grippers, and they keep clipping the corner of the iSWAP due to the tabs on these reservoirs. Is it possible to angle or slightly move the iSWAP with a firmware command?

Thanks

I’ve had the same problem with a different labware. I used the VirtualLabware library to shift the location that the CORE grippers picked up the labware. You have to shift the pick and place locations and make sure you shift them back after the move.

Thanks DCurrier! That is a great potential solution. I’m a bit concerned with doing an offset pickup as these are 300mL open reservoirs and also have a very narrow grip spot on the one side. I’ll definitely give it a try, but I would still be interested to know if there is a firmware command to move the iSWAP or shift it slightly.

Is anyone aware of a firmware command to move the iSwap out of the way?
