Robotic Arm

Archiver

Help, Please!!!

I am new at the game of programming. I have a robotic arm with five degrees
of freedom (base, elbow, shoulder, wrist and gripper). I am using BS2sx
Board of Education kit.

If someone has an algorithm of some kind I would appreciate. This way I can
learn by manipulating it.

Thanks,

Tom

What are you using to interface the Arm to the Stamp?

If this is the arm I have in mind, easiest way is to
use discrete transistor drivers to swap polarity of
the batteries to the motors and handle the current
required to drive the motors.

Control to the drivers is ON/OFF only. There is no
(simple) positional feedback logic for this arm.
Sensing current overload (stall) is not possible when
the arm has reached the end of travel as this
particular kit has a built-in clutch to prevent damage
to the plastic gears.
