My homemade robot arm “waves hi” (slowly) for the first time! The little gearbox I was putting together worked out pretty well, although the teeth are rounding off since they’re plastic. Time to upgrade!

I just posted a new video on YouTube where I hooked up the stepper motors and driver boards. Purrs like a kitten!
I’ll have another post this weekend with links to the products, code examples, etc. showcased in the video!
UPDATE: Sorry for the delay, my HTML is a bit rusty! I’m populating the parts list here. Keep checking back to see what products have been added!
In a previous post, I mentioned Raspberry Pi projects as one of my recent challenges. I ordered parts to upgrade my robot gripper arm – full rebuild from top to bottom. Here’s a video update!
It’s still a work in progress so in the near future I’ll cover:
I’m amazed at how affordable the parts are if you’re starting from scratch. Granted, the bulk of the expense is in the tools and consumables. This project is crazy fun and educational at the same time! If you have kids, robotics is a great way to work together and learn something new!
Stay tuned, more to come soon!
