Refactor gripper component using controller/device model

[Resseguie]

Deemed too specific.

[rwaldron]

Agreed ;)

[rwaldron]

OR...

If we can refactor this into a controller/device model and add support for several different types of gripper components, then we can keep it.

[Resseguie]

@rwaldron So I now vote that we plan to refactor this later to the controller/device model but not let it hold up 0.9.0. You good with removing that label from this issue?

[rwaldron]

Works for me

So gripper is just a scalar applied to a servo and I don't believe it warrants having its own class. I'm going to argue that we move this out to a Johnny-Five module and deprecate the gripper class.

Hi @Resseguie ,

I caught a bit of the CodeMash drone feed... Flying those things looks hard!

Johnny-Five contributors and maintainers are loathe to close issues where someone has a need. We don't want anyone to ever feel that we don't care, but we just haven't gotten to this yet. Rather than leave it languishing as an open issue we have created a Requested Features page and added your request for a Gripper module.

This is like the 4th request of yours that I've closed in the past two days. Hopefully will be able to start landing some of these features soon.
