Review on ๐Ÿš— Advanced Automotive Production Steering Application Manipulator by Brian Potter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very fun to understand the assembly.

In total I spent about 6 hours assembling this robotic arm in two days. It came with no instructions so I contacted the seller and they sent me the instructions in less than a day. great but it made me very thoughtful to find out the rest. Soldering can be done without instructions as the circuit board is marked. This is a good circuit board and all parts are included. Altogether the mechanical part was complex and took longer than the soldering. The same robot has been around for quite some time, so you can find more detailed instructions for it online. There are 4 servos, 2 controlled by each chip. When you press the buttons, the servos move a little with each button press. However, the second servo from each controller moves in one direction each time the button is pressed, but moves in the opposite direction all at once, and this makes it difficult to actually demonstrate the robot lifting something. Press button. Another such pin on the servo is problematic because according to the instructions it is connected to an extension cord so every time you press the button to raise it higher it moves a little but when you press the button to lower it (and lengthen your extension). Arm) it starts immediately and retracts completely. I came up with a workaround that involves swapping the servo jumpers so that the extension is on one of the better control pins, and plugging the base servo onto the pin. This turns the servo all at once. A Also, there are two more sets of pins for connecting servos, so maybe two servos can be connected to the same control pin. Or, if the pin on the board is bad, you can also use an extra set of servo pins. It has extra pins for all IC pins. If you want you can remove the IC and jumper in Arduino. I would recommend this kit as good exercise in electronics, soldering, mechanical thinking and problem solving. The finished product isn't everything, but it's kind of a dependency on working with the controls and seeing the adjustments you can make. Many Thanks :)
