Nice build

Hi, nice build !

Thank you for sharing. I like the idea of a potentiometer arm to control the one with servos. In fact it’s a more elaborated joystick, but I’m a simple hobbyist…

I like the flexible gripper too.

Would be nice that you post your code to have a look at your “algorythm” of microsteps and ramp for velocity.

I like it! Yeah, the code

I like it! Yeah, the code would be interesting.

Code

Ok, zip file attached. But i can imagine the code is very ugly for someone has studied that stuff.  But it works well :wink:

Have you heard of baxter. I think your design is better.

Dear: Pinaut

You should know I am a big fan of baxter and your robot is a lot like him. Baxter is an industrial smart robot that can do almost anything. Maybe you should make your robot humanoid to resemble baxter, just saying.

quite precise movements. why don’t you create direct interface with human hands and fingers? Great job anyway!!

Well, first of all, welcome

Well, first of all, welcome to LMR. Your robot arm is something really cool, especially the learning option. 

You said he’s losing all his memory when powered down. Why not write those nubers in the EEPROM or add an SD card to your robot arm for lots of different moving patterns.

Another thing. Don’t worry about how your code looks like. Important is that it works. Once compiled it’s just looking the same like any other code :slight_smile: Viele Grüße nach Deutschland …

losing memory

Sure it would be possible write the recorded steps in a memory (the code writes data to serial after start playmode (for debug or later using)). But i’m fine with ‘no memory’ because … how should i say? … its the soul from this robot: Be something like ‘virgin’ or rebirth and new each time he is powered on. - Everything in life is ephemeral. :wink:

Soul, rebirth, fair enough.

Soul, rebirth, fair enough. Still, he should remember something, at least give him a name :slight_smile:
