Thinkerkit Robot Arm - Arduino

Thinkerkit Robot Arm - Arduino

The TinkerKit Arm is a fully operational Robotic Arm, controlled via Arduino. It can be assembled in a variety of ways for various tasks, such as moving objects. You can also attach a camera or solar panel. There are many ways Arm can extend the range of your devices. Please note: Arduino board not included.

It is recommended to power the board via the jack connection with a regulated power supply of 5 VDC @ 4000 mA supplied in the box.

There is an integrated voltage regulator for higher voltages that protect the Braccio shield. NOTE: The shield does not work for Arduino Yun if you bridge between Vin and 5V on the Arm Robot Shield V1 (the larger version is called Braccio shield and has a switch on top of the shield).

Braccio Shield: The maximum length and width of the Braccio Shield PCB are 2.7 and 2.1 inches, respectively, with the power connector extending beyond the previous dimension. Four screw holes allow the board to be fixed to a surface or box. Note that the distance between digital pins 7 and 8 is 160 mil (0.16"), not an even multiple of the 100 mil spacing of the other pins.
