  • You Reply: Hi there,

    Thank you for the link but those pictures don't have the same rotating base that i have.  none of the screws provided with the robotic arm would not fit the bracket and rotating base plate; i went through every screw.  I did find these instructions in american that made the most sense but again the provided screws did not fit so i hade to make the holes bigger:  http://www.lynxmotion.com/images/html/build40d.htm

    Once i have the robotic arm built what do you recommend as a power supply, and I'm assuming a arduino controller to program it?  and then what can i use in the mean time to manually test the movement of the arm?

    Thanks,

  • You Reply: Hi there Hector,

    So i ordered the 6 DOF robotic Arm and have my capacitive stylus pen but assembling this thing with the video on youtube is driving me insane :o ???.  I don't have any way to inventory my screws.  Did great on labeling the major parts but i have no idea which screws go where.  If i use the screws supplied in the bag that the base components came in i'll definitely break the base screw holes for the HS 442 Servo with size of those screws as well as the screws that screw down the bracket to the rotating base plate will puncture through and and into the actual base making it unable to rotate.  i'm up for a challenge but with out knowing which screws go where i'm at a loss here.  Can you or someone you know give me an inventory of the screws and which screws go where?

    Thanks in advance,

    Berto
  • You Reply: Yea that was the first thing i started looking into was how to make the screen work with which ever type of hand and capacitive material attached to the finger tips.  From what i've found is that i need a capacitvie stylus pen as the capacitive gloves need the initial dielectric from human hands.  gloves on wood or plastic will not work from what i've seen and heard on the net.  What i'm trying to ultimately find out is if the reach on the DFRobot 6DOF is  capable of reaching ideally past the iphone to provide all angles at all points of contact with the stylus pen on the touch screen.  if it can reach past i should be good i'm assuming.  The more i gain on this i'll definitely post the info.  Some thing i did find out is taking the antistatic plastic bags that low level electric devices(memory, hard drives, processors) are sent in do have the ability to work with a capacitve touch screen but so far are not reliable in my tests.
  • You Reply: Does anyone know how big the 6 DOF Robotic Arm is ie span distance with pincher pointed down.  Also does anyone know if it is possible to program automated functions in it or how a person would go about doing that?
