Run with:
```bash
node eg/gripper.js
```


```javascript
var five = require("johnny-five"),
    compulsive = require("compulsive"),
    wrist, gripper, motion, repeater;

(new five.Board()).on("ready", function() {

  // Create a new `gripper` hardware instance.
  // This example allows the gripper module to
  // create a completely default instance

  wrist = new five.Servo(9);
  gripper = new five.Gripper(10);


  function slice() {
    wrist.move(100);

    compulsive.wait(100, function() {
      wrist.move(120);
    });
  }
  function chop() {

      if ( !repeater ) {
        repeater = loop;
      }
      slice();
    });
  }

  // Inject the `gripper` hardware into
  // the Repl instance's context;
  // allows direct command line access
  this.repl.inject({
    w: wrist,
    g: gripper,
    chop: chop,
    slice: slice

  // g.*() from REPL
  //
  //
  motion.on("motionstart", function( err, ts ) {
