WORK IN PROGRESS
Cubic is a robot project that is making slow progress. It’s been an experiment putting some different projects together. It has two robot arms built with a mix of Dynamixel AX-12A and XL-320 servos and controlled with a OpenCM board. The base is a Sainsmart robot tracks kit. The motors are currently controlled with an Arduino Uno board and Adafruit Servo Shield. And a Ironnik RC transmitter/receiver part is used for the initial control. Several of these parts are likely to change as the project develops. This is also the first time using plexiglass.
The current state has the tracks controlled by the RC and the arms programmed to move to some fixed poses. The plan is to move to a Skyfly RC unit with 10 channels and have the Uno pass arm motions to the OpenCM board.
