• Attach the Lowerarm to the upperarm
• Attach the Wrist to the lowerarm
• Attach the Endwrist to the wrist
• Attach the End to the endwrist

• (Optional) Attach the grapple port to the object you want to lift

• Change the camera id's on the End and Lowerarm parts (right click on them), they both are 1 at default. Make sure they have unique id's.

** FEATURES ****

• Working smooth, no wobble!
• Camera in effector and on lowerarm, for IVA use (optional by using RPM)
• Effector uses magnet. This is not realistic but this is the reason there is no wobble. And you can pick up Kerbals with the arm!

** USAGE ****

The mod adds an attachment node to the CSS, Onepiece and stock cargobays. This is where you should attach the Shoulder part. The shoulder part cannot be surface attached! The Canadarm uses IR for the moving parts and KAS for the effector magnet. You can create presets in the VAB (recommended). To "grab" stuff with the effector you have to enable the magnet. It is recommended to map this to an action group in the VAB. The arm and the magnet both use electrical power so keep this in mind when using the arm. There is a camera mounted in the effector wich you can use via Rasterpropmonitor Beside the magnet you can also use the supplied grappling port instead.
