Robotic arm using Arduino UNO, servo motors and Joysticks.
This repo contains the code and some resources to build a very simple robotic arm controlled by 2 Joysticks.
The needed elements were:
- Arduino UNO R3
- 5 Mini Servo motors SG90
- 2 Joysticks modules
- 2 Potentiometers
- 1 Power supply module
- 1 Medium Breadboard (for the arm)
- 1 Small Breadboard (for controller)
- 100 wooden tongue blades (11 cm x 1 cm)
- 1 regular UHU 35g tube
- Some UTP CAT 5 cable
It is fair to mention that I cheated and used some parts of another Arduino project for the articulations. However, with a small drill and some nuts and bolts it is also possible to do a pretty good job. The making of this Job took around a week.
It is not hard to build the arm and program it, Therefore, some photos of it (and read of the code) will make the job of a proper circuit diagram (lack of time). So, don’t forget to take a look into the images!
If you want to see the arm in action, just take a look to the YouTube Video!
I hope that this information will help you in your project, so have fun!
