Holiday's Robotic Arm Project

Let's Make Robots Robots
1

     Hello guys!

     Today (September 7th) is holiday in Brazil (Independence Day) and a good day to make some robotic stuff. And as I'm waiting to got more servos to continue my biped project Godo, I've decided to make some stuff with simple things that I have at home.

     As I always wanted to make a robotic arm, today this comes to my head.

     I wanted to build it very simple, utilizing only re-usable parts. And the control method is very simple too, and, one more time, utilizing the PlayStation 2 controller.

 

     Some things that I utilized:

     - Arduino UNO;

     - DFRobot I/O Expansion;

     - Jumper wires;

     - 6 servos: 1x HS-645MG, 1x HS-5245MG, 2x HS-82Mg, 2x SG90;

     - 4x AA 1,2V 2500mAh;

     - Tamiya universal plate and arms;

     - Lynxmotion nylon standoffs;

     - 2x DIY polystyrene servo brackets that I've maded for project Godo.

The intention was to make more simple as possible. So, it looks not so good. But makes some hours of fun.

Catch things

  • Control method: Non autonomous, with PS2 controller
  • CPU: arduino uno

Yes I know…

Yes I know… I know that is a poor project! But the idea was to make it very simple, and make me fun in the holiday! :wink: Just for fun!

Just browsing through all

Just browsing through all the old robot projects and saw yours. I just built a 6 dof arm and am waiting for servo shield (too lazy to wire up the servos directly to the arduino uno. Found some simple xyz sketch that should do the trick for programming.

Hi! Thanks for your

Hi! Thanks for your comment.

“am waiting for servo shield (too lazy to wire up the servos directly to the arduino uno.” >> Heheh, I know by my own experience.

Looking forward to see more on your robot arm.
