⚠️ Warning

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
