День тому

I made an Arduino based robotic arm with a unique control system for under $60! This video will take you through the design, assembly, and code process. My goal was to design an arm that was as compact as possible and didn't have a mess of wires coming out of it. I think this arm turned out pretty well!

I am a 73 year old inventor with 12 patents who has stayed up to date with the latest technology... your work is very impressive, especially from someone of your age. Its kind of funny, but I started out repairing consumer electronics when the TV's ran on vacuum tubes. I own a 3D printer, CAD software and lots of test equipment. I wish I had been born during this time period of 3D printing and the Internet as my inventive life would have been much easier and faster. Good luck to you and stay creative and up to date. ;)

I love the approach you took to controlling the arm, I have always loved that design of having a mini version of it that you move to control the big version. When I first saw how some commercial submarines have a mini arm that you move to move the big arm i new I wanted to build something like that!

Really cool. It would be a great addition to this robot adding a button that when pressed saves the current positoin of the motors (potmeters) and you can manually save multiple positions to replay them as a programmed animation. I did this with a hobby robot I built a few years ago

This is a great video. I like how compact the design is, and the arm control. There have been FRC teams doing this arm control for a while (234 in 2001), but it's been a while since it's been done well.

I am an engineering student who just bought a 3d printer. I was looking for a first project and i stumbled across this video. The idea for the controller is absolutely genius in my opinion. Other videos i have looked into felt so unapproachable with the amount of coding (also not my strong suit) but seeing how you dealt with that inspired me and i am going to attempt to build this myself. I also personally think that your arm moves much more organically compared to the others. keep it up! subscribed
