Hello super secret development group 
Is there anyone interested in creating code to control the AL5 series arms using the BotBoarduino and PS2 controller?
Perhaps some of you already have code which you are proud of?
Your name will of course be associated with the code so you get full credit.
I know that Devon did some work on this… I included a zip file of it below…
I may have another version bouncing around… Although my current code is currently geared around a different arm… Won’t have time for awhile.

We’ll certainly take a look.
I made some code for the arm with a bap and ps2 remote. And an arm on a rover with a ps2 remote. It just need to be ported to the botboarduino. Check my YouTube channel for some videos.
I will look up the code tomorrow.
Hi Coleman,
Here is the code for the arm as promised. It uses a BotBoard with BAP28 in combination with a PS2 remote. It does not need an SSC. I don’t have the time to port it since I’m working on the quad. I don’t know if you or somebody at LM/Robotshop can do the port? If not you could try and ask Kurt. He is a master of porting software
The code is tested on a AL5A and D with wrist rotate. So 6DOF incl gripper. But it can be configured for all setups.
I hope this is any help. Let me know if you have any questions…

BTW, here is the arm with rover version. It works the same as the arm only software but you can press select to switch between driving the rover and controlling the arm. Also no SSC needed.

Appreciated.
We’re actually currently working on BotBoarduino code which uses the PS2 and IK. Not tested yet, but hopefully soon.
ok, let me know if you need any help
