UPDATES!!!!!!!!!! 9-03-08

Hello robotics Friends... Just started to think that, it will be cool to make a robotic arm.Whether it has 5 DOF (degree of freedom) 4 DOF or 3-2DOF it will be cool just to make one and controlled it either make a transmitter or atomonously.Well i had a deep thought, why don't i make a robotics arm, with just some of the stuff i got lying around my house. And better yet let me make a Robotics arm, and make it mobile. So i Grab my first bot and decided to start building.

Here is a sketch i drawed about the design.Sorry for the quality of the camera or the drawing.It's going to be a Arm with 2 degree of freedom , Not counting the mobility of the bot.i will use 4 servo's. one for the shoulder one for the elbow one for the wrist and then one for the gripper.I started to make the shoulder it coming alone quit good.

Very nice...

Hey,

Very nice and good job starting with the basics. I tried to jump into full code when I started and just managed to frustrate myself. Afterward I went back to the basics (step by step) and only then learned something. Very, very good.

Yeah i'am pretty much

Yeah i'am pretty much starting fresh with only the manual that come with the picaxe starter kit. it looks like a easy language i guess i'll get a hand of it....I looked at frits code and it was like servo 0,100, wait ,pause, low 4 : high 7h ???? what! i didn't understand wat all it mean..so i skiped it and pop open the manual. and went from there.... :-)

Congratulations! You are now the proud father of a ... robot!

It's quite an accomplishment to get that far.

Thanks!!  Getting the hand

Thanks!! 
Getting the hand of programming in Pbasic. instead of using the code like high and low for motor power i just went with the forward a : forward b : halt  ect....... by using this kind of method it came pretty easy , with a little trial and error (ofcoarse) :)

This bot is really

This bot is really progressing along nicely, and I know your proud of it and with good reason. The code is easily the toughest part for me.

gradually the robot is

gradually the robot is independent, and the white lights that add to your robot, these lights give the robot style.
