Project description

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

As you probably know,?MeArm?is a "pocket-size industrial robot" launched on Kickstarter in 2015. As far as I know, it comes in different flavours and versions, but in every case, you basically have the Arm (mechanics and servos) and an Arduino to control it. It's a very nice product that really reply in a "desktop-size" industrial robot, but we are completely missing a "pocket-size industrial robot controller" that gives us the possibility to:
  • Manually jog the robot.
  • Save the current position of the robot as a persistent variable.
  • Create (several) programs to manage the robot's movement/gripper.
  • Control digital I/O's to interface the robot with the external environment.
The controller is based on?AVIL,?an interpreter (and interpreted language) that can run programs from a micro SD card on an Arduino! 4.2 MeArm Robot Controller (avil.altervista.org)
