Hi Everyone,
I’m a new user of the BotBoard II, the BASICAtomPro28 micro-controller, and the AL5D robot arm.
I’m looking for some Basic Micro Studio programs for the BASICAtomPro28 that integrate:
- the AL5D arm
- the PS2 Controller
At the end of the day, I’m looking to create my own program. One which, upon pressing a button on the PS2, will cause the AL5D arm to go through a sequence of positions, and when pressing another, goes through a different sequence of positions.
Because I’m not fluent in MBasic, or C++, I would like to find a pre-existing program that I could modify, instead of starting from the ground up.
Could somone send me a link to some programs, which will cause the AL5D arm to go through a sequence of motions when activated by the PS2 controller?
Any Help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much! 
Programs for the arm include real time movement via the PS2.
The following is for a rover, but it will work for the arm without the rover… It uses IK so you position the gripper in 3D space, rather than move the servos individually.

Here is another version. It requires the SSC-32. I think the previous one works better.

This is a very simple program that allows servo sequences to be stored but there’s no IK, so you must move provide the correct positions for all of the servos into a sequence list.

This program is for the BRAT, but it would work for an arm just as well.

There may be more, but this is a start.
