Robotic Arm Project

[Harold_Timmis]

This is a robotic arm library currently it runs regular DC motors with no feedback, but in the near future it will incorporate feedback through a potentiometer or encoder. Right now though it has the ability to run 5 motors with the correct motor controller (5 degrees of motion). I will be posting the schematic of the motor controller later so that anyone can build the exact motor controller I have created. The robotic arm I used for this project can be bought at several different hobby shops (thinkgeek.com: Edge Robotic Arm Kit). You can also make your own robotic arm if you would like and it will interface the same way as the Edge robotic arm kit (reason I used this arm was because it was cheap and proved my concept.). It would also be easy to add another degree of freed to this project all you would have to do is assign new pins to the motor you are adding. I have had great success with this robotic arm controller and library just make sure you do not apply power to the motors before the code has entered the "Loop Entered" state. again I will be posting the schematic of the controller later, for now here is the project.

I also have robot arm project. Using Labview and Arduino Mega 2560 board for control 5-DOF robot arm. We are still developing controller system so code will be post in the soonest day. Here is it! 😃

hello,

I am doing a simillar project, which is excatly simillar to yours. Nice video by the way.

I was wondering if you have the whole package as you said.

Cheers

Original article answered your question. It said ". It would also be easy to add another degree of freed to this project all you would have to do is assign new pins to the motor you are adding".
