More robot arm experiments
Alan made this new pen holder for the robot arm. The pen is attached to a linear slide. It uses a rubber band for a spring. |
Somewhere in here are some wires we can use. |
This connector was added in the field for the previous application. These wire run back to the controller and the state can be changed in the program. |
The wires were used to drive these solenoid valves. The original hand was pnumatically operated. |
Alan takes some parts out of his 'spare' robot arm. |
We found this rotary solenoid. It will be used as a pen lifter. |
The wires get shoved back in here. |
We hooked up an LED so we could see when the progam activated the solenoid. |
Testing the solenoid. |
The pen now raises when the program tells it to. |
