ARM #06

After a broken 3d printer, fried arduino, and many more hurdles I finally got something that I can test with. This is a control panel I made with python tkinter (I had Claude guide me on how to make the GUI), and it communicates via serial to send over servo angles. It reads whenever you are connected to the esp32 and then enables the Drive Servos button and the Play Recording Button. Once they’re enabled, you can slide the sliders to whatever angle you want and then press “Drive Servos” to move them IRL. Im currently working on the recording and playing robotic arm movements part, so the record, save,load,clear buttons are currently non-functional (will work in future). Also, there is a IK library you can open which will in the future have a range of IK questions you can solve related to the robotic arm. Thats also non-functional but I’ll be working in on it the following devlogs. Mechanically, The robot arm keeps tipping over so I’ll have to redesign the case. So thats all lol.

Next steps:

Make the recording and playing functional
