Poppy Ergo Sr.

The AX-12A robot arm just wasn’t going as well as desired, so I decided to start over.  Using the servos  and frames designs from Robotis’ Bioloid we assembled an arm configured similar to the Poppy Ergo Jr project.  The controller is a OpenCM9.04C, with a 16×2 character LCD for data output and a Wii nunchuck for control.  Initially we are recording some poses to test the functionality.   It needs a different base mount and the breadboard should be condensed to PCB.  We’ll see where it ends up.  So far we like it.

Code and parts list available upon request.
