Review on KEYESTUDIO Arduino Electronic Robotics Bluetooth by Daniel Shivashankar

Cute robotic arm

It was fun building this kit. 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. Code included (download), this allows you to use the memory function - move your hand and remember the position, and after moving it you can remember the position - for example dropping an item into a cup. Pretty fun! My kids love to play with it. I worked with them to put it together. The supplied very small screws for connecting to the servo horns were too small, however there are additional screws that come with the servos themselves and 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.
