Review on KEYESTUDIO Arduino Electronic Robotics Bluetooth by Robert Sisco

Cute Robotic Arm: Single Board Computer

This kit was fun to put together. It includes some cool details that can later be reused for other projects. I especially like the included Arduino shield that you can use to control the PS2 controller. Initially I didn't adjust the claw properly so it was difficult to work, but I adjusted the screws and after that it worked fine. The instructions warn against over-tightening the screws, but I accidentally did it anyway. A code is included (download) that allows you to use the save function - move your hand and memorize the position, and after moving it you can memorize the position - for example when you put an item in a drop cup. Pretty fun! My kids love to play with it. I worked with them to put it together. The included very small screws for connecting to the servo horns were too small, but there are additional screws that come with the servos themselves that are great for this purpose. The manual didn't include a download link for the PS2 controller library, but I was able to find it on Github.

Pros
  • Not just useful for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Quality
