Hello,
I want to program my robotic arm to move in a specific sequence of motion without any human control. What products would I have to buy to program such movement. My arm is something like the image below and it would be for a school project.
Hi,
According to your image, your robotic arm seems to be using direct driver RC servomotors.
If that is the case then there are multiple options for you to consider, such as:
]An Arduino-based servomotor controller, such as the BotBoarduino.
This board can run any Arduino sketch and can be used to control up to a dozen servomotors. Of course, you would need an appropriate power source for your servomotors (usually 4.8-6.0 V DC, 2-5 A). This would be connected to the VS port of the BotBoarduino and power the motor directly./:m]
]A dedicated servomotor controller, such as the SSC-32U.
With this device, you will need an extra controller. This could be a microcontroller (such as an Arduino board), a computer or even a smart device that is compatible, such as an Android phone or tablet over Bluetooth (SSC-32U Bluetooth option)./:m]
In both cases, we do provide some basic example code.
You can find it on the Lynxmotion GitHub here (SSC-32U & computer) and here (BotBoarduino direct control).
We hope this helps.
Sincerely,
