WARNING: This post describes a project known to be of very low quality. You might experience nausea while reading it.
.. This is an old project from high-school. Back then I had no idea about how to properly engineer anything, more specifically:
- how to properly design a robot (e.g: torque balancing)
- concurrent motor control (everything runs in a single thread..)
- inverse kinematic, it is totally missing here -_-
This project is about designing and manufacturing a simple 5 DOFs robotic arm.
It uses one servomotor for each degree of freedom, all controlled and powered by the Arduino Mega 2560.
There are 4 push buttons that can be used to manually control each degree of freedom separately.
Final result
Robot’s ability demonstration
Manual control
Controlled by pressing on those 4 buttons
