Over the weekend, I had a chance to modify the Robotic Arm Prototype and add a wrist rotation servo and accompanying gears. I also shortened the forearm part of the robotic arm to take some of the stress off of the elbow servo. In addition, I changed out the shoulder servo to a higher torque model to help with the stability of the robot. Unfortunately, due to many things that I had to get done over the weekend, I did not have time to check out the functioning of the arm with the Laptop and SSC-32. I really need to check out the moment arm equations to see if the servo torque values are correct for this Prototype version 2. Maybe I will have time to do that tonight after work.
These are the efforts of one grandfather and his grandson to make a home brew robot for fun.
