🎛 Controlling the Arm Manually!

Using the Knobs!

The four knobs on the robot arm each control a different servo of the arm!

From left to right they control servos one through four.

Play around with the knobs to get familiar with how the robot arm moves and is controlled!

Once you feel comfortable moving the arm around, you can try to use the arm to pick up and stack light objects! This is actually much tougher than it sounds!

Recording Actions!

Once you have figured out the motions that the robot arm needs to perform to finish a task, you can record those motions so the robot arm will do those steps by itself!

To do this all you need to do is perform a motion using a knob then tap the yellow button. Repeat this for each step in your motion to record the full motion. Once you have finished recording, hold down the yellow button for 3 seconds and the arm should start repeating your motion!

Note: The robot arm has a short memory so try to keep your motions under about 10 steps!
