I'm ongoing building AR3 now, structure of AR3 so far so good. There is many challenges I'm facing start from purchase suitable electronic component, tools, assembly, printing and etc.
Special thanks to:
1. Chris Annin (Anninrobotic)
2. Chris Boden https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODck6J3JJng&t=919s
I notice that Chris Boden temporary to discontinue the video guide, so I'd shoot some video during in my assembly process, hope I have time to compile and share it out, so new comer can have overall big picture how the journey look like.
The arm roughly install complete and I'm ongoing assemble electronic enclosure.
Use metal electronic enclosure, bad experience!
Hi Kstan,
You mentioned that Chris Boden has stopped making his videos. I thought that too but turns out he‘s just posting them to his other channel. You can find his videos here:
I’ve also been following along and find his videos really helpful. Hope that helps!
I'd tried program this robot arm to pick a glue stick. I'm so happy cause it work as expected.
Explanation of structure and show my linear track.
Still lot of to do: 1. logo, sanding & painting to 3D printed area and enclouse (to avoid rusty)
2. encoder cable not working, need fix connector (I used own make encoder cable, connector have issue. You guy seriously don't make own encoder cable it will make your life difficult)
3. Put raspberry pi into project, I'd tested but seems like arm drain too much power from raspberry pi and it cause shut down. Any of you able to overcome it?
4. Make it work in some real project
5. Hopefully, have time to rewrite ASCR.py to make it become web/api environment. If any of you feel interested can join my development.
