Schedule specific movements with robotic arm

Help & Support Robots & Kits

Hello,

I’m curious if the RaspArm-S 4-DoF Robotic Arm can be programmed (i.e. with cronjobs) to perform specific operations throughout the day, or if arm movements can only be performed using the physical dials provided with the kit?

Thanks very much,
Danny

Hello @DannyGinz88 and welcome to the forum.

I don’t see why you couldn’t control it via scripts.

According to the product description, it can be controlled in several ways: via PC, phone/tablet, using potentiometer.

Note: The Raspberry Pi & batteries are NOT included.

You can schedule your Raspberry Pi to perform a specific task. You can use crontab for this purpose:

So, this way you can move your RaspArm-S 4-DoF Robotic Arm to a specific direction.

By the way, if you ever consider making a Raspberry Pi Pico based robotic arm, you can make a Proto Shield for Raspberry Pi Pico like this:
