Example code
What a great package. Complete with everything you need... the arm, power supply, switches, and the botboarduino that you can program. For remote control, add the 1Sheeld. For the code, search Instructables.
It is my first arm robot. At first I was very worried whether it would work properly, but I was very happy to see that it was working properly after assembly. And the motor was so powerful and easy to command that I could easily implement the behavior I wanted.
Shipping was very fast. I very much enjoyed the project. I purchased the arm with the botboarduino chip. I was able to eventually find starter code to work with on the internet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All the sample codes can be found on the GitHub here: https://github.com/Lynxmotion/Arms/tree/Botboarduino
Assembling arm was quite difficult but it works greatly.
