is it possible to control the sub sea newton gripper using a raspberry pi or an arduino. QGC and the pixhawk is not an option

Yes, look at the documentation [here](https://www.bluerobotics.com/store/thrusters/grippers/newton-gripper-asm-r1-rp/), in the Technical details tab.

You can use it as a servo (so any arduino sketch ot raspberry script to control servos should work).  
It takes a 3.3 V PWM signal for control, 1500 us is neutral.

For Arduino you can test with the “sweep” example, which will cycle it opening/closing.  
Raspberry should habe something similar too.
