Lynxmotion AL5D 4DOF Robotic Arm SSC-32U Combo Kit (FlowBotics Studio)

Very nice start up kit to operate multi-joint robot arm. There is some missing information in the manual. You can choose some different angles how to mount bracket on servo wheel. That gives you the center position and max/min angles that you can go. The instruction is not clear about this. You have to learn by trail and error. The servo sequencer gives an ability to limit the motion, too. After 1 hour of operation, SSC-32U board was damaged maybe due to high current to move to discrete positions abruptly. I had to order a replacement one. I hope that the programmer will include some transition time delay so that the arm can move smoothly not abruptly.

software makes the kit worth it, you'll need to purchase ~25 dollars of lubricant, sand paper, locktight and bigger screws / washers in order to get this completed by the directions. the hardware comes in all different types of small bags which aren't labeled and each bag isn't used all at once, so you end up picking through all the bags to find the odd pair of screws, which is fine. nothing that anyone interested in a robotic arm should be scared of, just good to know. There is also a bit of slop in the arm, it isn't super exact, and there are scenarios where the feedback and weight of the arm causes the base servo to oscillate back and forth, have not found an easy fix for this yet.

Great robot to learn about and play around with robotics! The SSC-32U isn't programmable, but the positive side to that is you don't need to do any programming - it just works! I also bought the BotBoarduino along with the whole package because I want to later go back and do some of my own programming, but it's not required at all. This package comes with *almost* everything you need. You'll also need: - a basic electronics tool-kit (you have that already) - a sheet of 400-grit sandpaper from a hardware store - a few drops of silicone-based oil from a hobby electronics store Although a lot of spare screws, nuts and washers are included, it would be a *great* idea if in future shipments they would include a spare set of the friction plates because it's very easy to accidentally damage them. For me the first pair went well and the second pair I had to make due by hot-gluing them instead and just using the screws to line them up. At the time of writing, friction plates are available on their store - trust me, you want to buy an extra pair. Also, (and it does say this in the manual for the software) the software should be updated because currently you need to have the Bluetooth icon lit up that actually tells the software to communicate at 9600 bps in order for it to work. It's a bit of an oddity, doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it's true, you do need that Bluetooth icon lit up even if you're connecting with USB. The only way it can work is if that icon is lit up, so I'm not sure why there's even a choice. That's it - everything else went as expected, it's a pretty neat little arm.

le logiciel en vaut la peine, vous devrez acheter environ 25 dollars de lubrifiant, de papier sablé, de vis / rondelles verrouillables et plus grosses pour que ceci soit complété par les instructions. le matériel est fourni dans différents types de petits sacs qui ne sont pas étiquetés et chaque sac n'est pas utilisé en une fois. Vous finissez donc par chercher dans tous les sacs pour trouver la paire de vis impaire, ce qui est bien. rien qui fasse peur à quiconque est intéressé par un bras robotique, juste bon à savoir. Il y a aussi un peu de décrochement dans le bras, ce n'est pas très exact, et il y a des scénarios où le retour et le poids du bras font osciller le servo de base sans avoir trouvé de solution facile à cela pour le moment.

Très belle trousse de démarrage pour faire fonctionner un bras de robot à articulations multiples. Il manque des informations dans le manuel. Vous pouvez choisir différents angles pour monter le support sur la servo-roue. Cela vous donne la position centrale et les angles max / min que vous pouvez utiliser. L'instruction n'est pas claire à ce sujet. Vous devez apprendre par piste et par erreur. Le séquenceur servo permet également de limiter le mouvement. Après 1 heure de fonctionnement, la carte SSC-32U a été endommagée, peut-être en raison d'un courant élevé, pour se déplacer brusquement vers des positions discrètes. Je devais commander un remplacement. J'espère que le programmeur inclura un certain délai de transition afin que le bras puisse se déplacer sans heurt et pas brusquement.
