 # Schunk EGU/EGK Dummy
 A minimalist protocol simulator for system tests.
 
+Use this SCHUNK gripper dummy whenever you don't have access to real hardware
+and still want to test your application.
+
 ## Dependencies
+We need additional Python dependencies.
+Install them inside your favorite Python environment with
 
 ```bash
-pip install --user fastapi uvicorn
+pip install --user fastapi uvicorn requests python-multipart
 ```
 
 ## Getting started
-1. Start the dummy standalone with
-    ```bash
-    ./start_dummy.sh
-    ```
+There's a convenience script `start_dummy` for starting the dummy simulator.
+It will start on localhost with port `8000` by default but you can specify another port via the `port:=<port-id>` syntax.
+
+### Plain python
+
+Although shipped inside a ROS2 package, the dummy itself doesn't need ROS2.
+You can simply navigate into the dummy's package and start it with
+```bash
+./start_dummy port:=8000
+```
+
+### ROS2
+When working in a sourced ROS2 environment, you can start the dummy with
+```bash
+ros2 run schunk_egu_egk_gripper_dummy start_dummy --ros-args -p port:=8000
+```
 
 ## Run tests locally
+Inside the dummy's package
 
 ```bash
 pip install --user pytest httpx coverage
