The button panel also was bad because I had used a salvaged button panel from an old laptop which did not work that great.It had very less viewing space and could not display all the required information. Another problem was with the control panel and that was that the 16 x 2 alphanumeric display was not good enough for my application.The arm would frequently start vibrating and sometimes violently shaking as the motors were highly incapable of managing the weight of the arm (which I later realised). The first problem that I faced was a frequent jittering of the SG90 plastic gears that I had previously used in my arm.It never worked properly but yes, I did make it, so I felt it would be worth putting in some past details of the project. The image you see on the left is a picture of the control panel of a 2-year-old iteration of this Robotic Arm. Sounds Interesting? Let's dive right into the I'ble. This is a really good project for learning about the various processes carried out by any robot and in particular, this is a great demonstration of the capabilities of the Arduino board at a higher and more complex level! I also designed a custom PCB for the project to prevent a mess of wires. I have used an Arduino Mega for the Robotic Arm as it has a huge number of I/O pins which I quite needed because with the display, it is impossible to plug in any other I/O devices to the Arduino UNO board and as a result, I chose the Arduino Mega board. I have used the MG90S metal gear servo motors for better performance and quality! The robotic arm has three Degrees of Freedom (DOF) and also a cute little gripper, including which, there are a total of four servo motors that we will be using in this project. The robotic arm can either be operated directly through the Manual Mode or the robotic arm can be taught new tasks through the Automated Mode and then the robot then goes over those tasks forever in a loop, until you stop it :) It has two joysticks and also features a colorful 2.4" TFT display which acts as both a touch control panel and also a display to visualise what's going on. Hi, in this Instructable, you will learn how to build a Robotic Arm that can learn to do any task and can be taught any task.
