Hi there,
I am planning on getting the robotic arm for my project. However, my platform is Linux and I read the document on the arm is mainly in window. I was wondering do I need a driver in Linux in order to program the arm? Any help or pointer on programming documentation would be great. Thanks.
The am has, when you use the SSC32 Controller, a serial port. So it doesn’t matter what OS your Computer use.
The only thing is, that you need a driver to use an USB-Serial Adapter if your Computer does not have a serial port.
With this you can write your own Software running on the PC sending commands to the arm controller.
The Software RIOS is only running under Windows I guess but you could try to use WINE or VMWare with an Windows OS to use this program.
thanks. that is exactly what I need to know. I can program and user serial to send command to control the arm.
