bingieman Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Hey guys I just got a uarm. This is an arduino controlled robotic arm from ufactory. I know arduino has limitations but what kinds of cool things can I do with it. Sorry I cannot come up with any ideas. Here is a picture. It uses a vacuum suction cup to lift things.

cooper Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Well, you already came up with the getting it to play chess idea, which is a good idea with as only caveat that you're going to have to make it happen yourself. There are open source chess programs out there so all that's left is to have the arm understand how to pick up a piece from a specific location on the board (I'm thinking the board and the arm are attached to eachother, so you don't have to (re)calibrate every 10 seconds) and get it to put it back in the new location. So start simple. Draw 2 squares, some distance apart. Place an item of your choice (like that apple as in your image) in one of the squares and get the arm to pick it up and move it to the other square. Repeat in the opposite direction. That'll be hard enough for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overwraith Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 You could also do some color swapping, ex red, blue, green, etc balls which you would swap/sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
