Project! 2 DOF Robot Arm

So! I finally decided what my project for the semester wll be…

A two degrees of freedom robotic arm. I chose this project since the arm will require a lot of porgramming to work, an I´ll do it on C++. This project will be worked together with the project in Computer Drawing class.

A two degrees of freedom robotic arm is a machine simulating a human arm, but with only two “joints” or  places where it can bend or rotate.

The objective of the project, besides learnig A LOT will be the next one, as I stated it on my computer drawing document.

  • create an easy to use and easy to understand two degrees of freedom robotic arm, capable of lifting a maximum weight of one kilogram from a distance of 60 centimeters. An easy to replicate arm, with all its information free to use for everyone and after my first design is released, the code will be open sourced., as well as the design.

Here you can have a look at my first sketch of the project:sketch2

 

I did two toher sketches, have a look:

sketch1
sketch3

I chose the first one, since I think it´ll work better.

Since this is a blog about programming, about that is what I will keep you most updated on.

What I know is that I´ll program the servomotors with C++, through a Freedom by Freescale develpment platform (which I already have, thanks TEC) on the online tool Mbed. I did some similar programming last semester on a little line-following cart. 

I´ll keep you updated, now my project has to be approved by my proffesor- Thanks for reading.
