[@aviator267]

Thanks for starting up again. Really appreciate it

[@tw2ka644]

Thank you! I'm glad I could still help with this!

[@mohamedsalahmoghazy4062]

Great Demo
Thanks for your time

[@imardreckmeyr882]

Hats off for all your effort, and thanks for sharing - really learing alot from this!

[@tw2ka644]

Thanks! Great to hear

[@luislopezalegria820]

Thanks for sharing.

[@topfreeful]

Thank you

one good idea, the arduino has a 1kilo byte eeprom. you can, after every stepper motion finished write all current axis positions in this eeprom. if you want a nother move, than the arduino read the eeprom and do the same action like before. if you shutdown the arduino the eeprom values stay and if you power up the robot you can get any values of any axis and you dont have to callibrate every time. i dont have such a robot but i testet with some singel steppers :)
very good projekt. if i want to build my own robot , ill look defenelty on your channel to get some help

[@tw2ka644]

That is indeed a viable idea! Would ve helpful not having to calibrate the robot. Thank you, nice to hear!

[@lecocentre2454]

Hi it helped me a lot thank you very much I searched and it is the best software to control a robot arm from a PC that I could find. I block on the direction of rotation with the code my engines only rotate in one direction. any idea?

[@nono_25]

wow great job, in my opinion, there are missing auxiliary outputs for example the clamp and other system, and inputs for example to activate the cycle from a switch

[@tw2ka644]

Thank you! I agree, having atleast an output would be required to run a gripper. I experimented with this using a 9g servo based gripper but never got to adding the code to the final program

[@walterhynson2898]

good efford but what we need is a GRBL for robots and a sender

[@alpharobotronics4418]

Where do I enter the steps per degree for each joint int the arduino sketch ?

[@Sam-dv3vt]

amazing video, although to make ur robot more powerful lit would be great if u implement an inverse kinematic GUI to it aswell., thanks man

[@tw2ka644]

Thank you!

[@andrei.lucuta]

Have you made it ?

[@marklee1209]

That example photo… is it from a Toyota DENSO training manual?

[@clemenspfanner3318]

Hello I'm building your super robot right now, but can't find any program code from you under the link Software Files? Is there a download option, please? thanks

[@raymondvlog5957]

Great project. Do you have the GUI to share with us?

[@tw2ka644]

Thank you! The software can be downloaded from the link in the description.

[@salahozen7688]

Hi, please I need the Arduino code that explained in the video

[@mlsta3354]

Hi, how many jumpers did you put in to limit the microstep?

[@SamuelRobotics]

Hey! I love your work so much. I am building a similar robotic arm and I would like to use your application. Unfortunately, I downloaded all the files from the dropbox and when I try to run the application it gives me an error, my sdk 5.0 is said to be incompatible. Could you please help me? Thank you very much

[@tw2ka644]

Hello and sorry for late reply! If I remember correctly the arm weighted around a kilogram and it could lift 200-300 grams on full arm length.

[@harpreetsinghar1319]

How can i develope my own visual studio gui system

[@povilasvaiciulis7931]

why you stoped this project it looks great. :(

[@tw2ka644]

Lack of time and space was the main reason at the time. I also reached my limit in coding knowledge at the time which prevented me from further developing the software.

[@wonjaejang2153]

What do you do full time/what did you learn in college?

[@tw2ka644]

I'm a mechanical engineering student specializing in fields of robotics!

[@user-yo3zy7pj8q]

@@tw2ka644 Awesome work!! Are u a graduate student?? Did u learn all robotics knowledge and coding methods from school or did u learn them yourself?

[@tw2ka644]

@@user-yo3zy7pj8q Thank you and yeah I am! I learned a lot od the basics about robotics and coding in school and then improved my knowledge later on by myself!

[@user-yo3zy7pj8q]

@@tw2ka644 awesome!! Im an undergraduate student majoring mech engineering and want to specialize in robotics if I get to graduate school. But I have a feeling that Im not learning much in school that would aid me in studying robotics in the future. I am doing some basic personal projects with arduino but not sure if this would help.
Any recommendations on what I could do right now as an undergraduate student to prepare myself for the future, other than studying what's provided from school curriculum?
Thank you!!

[@povilasvaiciulis7931]

why there is just 3 waypoints ?

Hanzhen harmonic gear , robot joint gear over 30 years experience

[@maskedcowboygaming2800]

Please attach arduino code

[@neno56527]

why dont you just use the program that they made for the Forestry truck robotic hand in the Farming simulator game. Its easyer , all you gotta do to control it is the mouse and its 6 or 7 axis

[@pnuema1.618]

education might be what he is after

[@Larock-wu1uu]

What happened to this project!? :)

[@tw2ka644]

I sold this project forwards a while back. It got to a point where it only needed software development and it's not my main area of interest.

[@Larock-wu1uu]

Alright, thanks for the answer. Pitty to hear that we won't see it moving. But totally understandable ;-)
