Formula AllCode Robot Arm Production Cell - Matrix TSL (RB6231-2)

Description

The robot arm delivers fast, accurate and repeatable movement with base rotation, single plane shoulder, elbow, wrist motion, a functional gripper and a wrist rotator.

The arm is controlled by an E-blocks2 dsPIC microcontroller with combo board which includes 16 switches, 16 LEDs, 4 line 20 character LCD and quad 7-seg display.  A servo motor board, bluetooth board, Grove I2C colour sensor & Grove board are also provided.

The board can be programmed directly from Flowcode for dsPIC or Microchip's MPLAB.  A full Flowcode simulation is available free of charge.  The control system is also shipped with a full Application Program Interface so that the robot can be controlled using any bluetooth enabled device such as a PC, Android or Apple device using a range of software applications.

The kit is supplied ready assembled with a number of coloured wooden blocks which can be moved by the arm into different locations in the work cell. 

The free instructional guide, which includes worksheets and demonstrations is available for free from the resources tab below.
