I am considering purchasing a number of this model for my High school class. The software that comes with each unit seems easy for the students to master. Is there a method whereby the students can:
write their own code to actuate the arm.
If so what programming code is used and where do I get access?
Is there help online where the students can get access to this code to be able to write their own code?
Related Question: Based on your experience, what robot kit purchase would provide the best cost effective learning for High School students in terms of hardware ( kits) and software.
We see you have also asked the question via the support center, but will post the reply here for reference as well:
Apart from the sequencer and visual interface, there is no specific code for the arm. The SSC-32 can be connected to a computer and you can create code using any program of your choosing. The protocol is quite easily understood.
Unfortunately not.
Not at this time.
If you are looking specifically for a robotic arm which offers great value, then the AL5D is one of your best options. If you’re looking for a general introduction to robotics however, you might consider a construction kit such as: robotshop.com/ca/en/vex-cons … t-kit.html
Ex: robotshop.com/ca/en/dual-con … RB-Inn-295
This includes more educational material, as well as three software options from beginner to advanced (all free).
