A Big Thanks to Pinaut and Stoerpeak for sharing their amazing code and ideas!
I couldn't wait for my parallel gripper to arrive so I cobbled one together from bits and bobs. It's a bit heavy for the rest of the arm but does the job.Need to upgrade gripper and add base rotation stability.
Used the following items:
heavy wooden platform
plastic frame from cpu fan
2 x standard metal gear servos
2 x mini servos
servo brackets,aluminum,etc
arduino
4 x25k pots
ribbon cable
5 aa batteries
2 x buttons
gripper (made from rectangular plastic, five sided servo arms, mini cable/housing from bicycle gear display/shifter, servo)
