Title: PC Controlled Robot Arm
Post by: aaqilkhan on March 13, 2007, 10:20:01 AM

Hi all.
I just finished building my robot arm using HS805 servos, custom aluminum parts, and firmware for both a basic stamp as well as PIC16. To control the robot arm, I developed a software in VB with automation, simulation as well as real-time robot control.

One of the videos is a 3D animation (demo for the robot)
Another video shows the real thing in action.

I am working on a gripper design for it as well as a swivel base or rover of some sort.

In VB how do you send signals out to ports (ie USB, Serial)
