SainSmart 6-Axis desktop robotic arm is an educational and great kit for both beginners and professionals to learn robotics, electronic and programming. Based on the operation of the Uno R3 controller board, you can design lots of motion for the robotic arm, just release your imagination. The Uno R3 controller board also can be replaced to Raspberry Pi Zero according to your need. In a word, this kit is full of possibilities to achieve your creativity.
Come with a fully assembled kit, you can enjoy the journey of programming right out of the box.
Learning Coding has never been so easy and fun, just follow our tutorial step by step, you can design a set of complete motion for the robotic arm. This is also a great kit for parents to cultivate their children’s interest in science and provide a good chance to learn coding with kids, enjoy the family time!
Structure consists of different thickness of CNC machined PVC plates, making it a durable and quality product guaranteed. 6 axis design allow an immense range of motion and flexibility within its reasonable limits.
In order to help people to learn the basic structure of robotic arm, the SainSmart 6-Axis robotic arm is based on a realistic robotic arm design. What is more, it can simulate every movement like the real robotic arm. This really helps you to know how the robotic arm work.
This SainSmart robotic arm operates on six axes, meaning you can program it to move forward and back, up and down, and side to side. Compatible with the Arduino, it simulates a real palletizing robot arm structure with durable PVC material and a host of servos including four MG996 servos and two SG90 servos. The beauty of this arm is that it comes fully assembled, so little setup is required aside from the actual programming. See the video below for more details.
This video above is a demo of how to connect wires and program the robotic arm.
And the video below shows the web interface test.
This Robotic Arm is a great product and a must for all Arduino Robotic arm hobbyist .
It took me several days to receive the DHL parcel. I managed to find out the link of test code and instructions at the bottom of the description, which is named "Robot Arm.zip". The robot arm works pretty well as the demo shows. However, I do hope they can improve the listing and make a more informative video.
Had to study to be able to use it.
I had to hook this up to a power supply via a receiver module for Fly Sky FS-i6. Was able to control several servos at once, and it was pretty cool. It has now made me understand why I couldn't power the servos simultaneous before through my adruino. Current draw! It has taken me a lot of learning to get this far, and I can tell you this is the best arm I got so far. It came assembled that is a huge thing, and the quality is great. Really is for serious hobbyist.
The Robot arm is supplied without any instructions. Sainsmart was made aware of this fact on 21 January, and there hasn't yet been a resolution (as of 11 March 2015). You should NOT buy one of these until a set of instructions becomes available. Nice looking arm, but right now it's just a very expensive paperweight!
