Hey y'all. I just got my AR4 MK2 online last Friday. Glad to officially become a part of the community!
The build was definitely a long process but I'm glad I got I got to see a lot of excellent decision ideas along the way. (Preloading each joint to take away play. Different bearing selections. Using the green Loctite for the first time. Introduction to GX connectors, braided cable sleeves, CAT connector wiring. Etc.)
Here's my first real program that went beyond flailing the arm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s9KXkq78Ro

Regarding the program:
I actually intended to use jumps and register logic. Unfortunately The HMI software, both 4.4 and 4.3.1 got stuck at any jump statement.
I ended up just creating a parent program to call my target program 6 times.
If anyone knows, can y'all point me towards how I might get jump statements to work? Please see program attached! _____________________________________________________________ Also, if there's some type of Discord community, I would love to join y'all. Despite the numerous schools and DIYers that have bought this arm, I felt the amount of YouTube videos on this was kinda limited. And that's basically the only place I know to chat with AR4 people. :P
