Does anyone know a good programming tool for the Lynxmotion AL5D 4 Degrees of Freedom Robotic Arm Combo Kit (BotBoarduino).
The programming tool must be able to work by itself after everything is entered. Thank you!
The BotBoarduino is based on the Arduino Duemilanove board, so we recommend using the free Arduino IDE software to program the arm.
There’s also sample code for the arm, if you use it with the PS2 remote controller:
- github.com/Lynxmotion/Arms/blob … m.ino#L100
- github.com/Lynxmotion/Arduino-PS2X (required PS2 library)
Once the code is uploaded to the BotBoarduino, it can function without being connected to the computer.
Hope this helps,
Do I need a PS2 controller to do this? Any way without using a PS2 controller?
And does it work with microprocessor?
Thanks!
The PS2 controller what is normally used, but it is not needed. The BotBoarduino board is itself a microcontroller based on the Arduino Duemilanove.
It can be programmed to do almost anything you want using the Arduino IDE: you can use the “Servo” library to directly control all the servomotors in the arm.
What is it you want to do?
