Robot Claw Tutorial

Short Description

Assembly and robotic claw, and questions about the suitability of the medium server after receiving a decent amount, a small tutorial, I decided to write about assembling claw. We are getting your claw and grab it as quickly as possible to go over the basics.

Necessity

To begin, you should have everything you see in the picture below:

Robot Claw Tutorial

What we have here:

• 2, 4/40, nuts from all sides, from the clutches of the server used to mount 22mm screw.
• A sharp horns Server (aka "arm") claw loose screw from the bottom of the gear used by small 9.5 mm screw tip 2.
• 4/40 1 even small black golden Server 7.6 server horn screw gear used in the screw.
• Both servers come with a servo horn medium.
• 1 medium 180 degree rotation Server
• 1. robotic claw.
• An Arduino UNO microcontroller
• A pair of wire cutters.
• It is a precision screwdriver with the tip of a pH -1
• M- M-3 for the servo jumper cable to connect the Arduino

How it works

A simple servo motor and a little bit of code to add to, robotic claw that can bring life to any project. Just gears and server gripper, possession and even clamping objects in your project can be implemented easily, it is a robot or a claw game. Setup is easy - you soon will find.

How to use it

Rally

First, the server portion of the horn at both ends of a decent cut, otherwise it will bump into the robotic claw back mounting plate. Cut shown below:

The closest is at the edge of the center of the 3rd hole in the horn cut it. As a result, not bump into other parts of the claw horn and rotating freely, which enables the server to be able to claw open and close properly.

Secondly, the robotic claw loose gear shown in the bottom of the adjustment screw horn server:

This is a strategy. Gear robotic claw horn push against the plastic on the server and the server Screw the horn. If you do not apply pressure, screw horn push out to be just the server. Be careful when doing this, screw could poke your finger.

Once the server is lit on the horn, the robotic claw mounted to the server. See the picture below:

Robot Claw Tutorial

This photo was taken at an angle behind the robotic claw. At the top, you can see the robotic claw mounting plate. Server Right, robotic claw protruding from the other side, you can see a golden servers gear. If you want to be parallel with the gear robotic claw.

I am screwing the opposite (top) would suggest that the picture in relation to the server side of the mounting screw holes. Put your index finger on the edge of a gear nut and stability (see photo) at the other end to embrace it with your thumb, then use your screwdriver and the screw thread with nuts. If you screw it too tight, which is in the server and the server at the start of the cave you are screwing the alignment of the gear will be changed.

After you get the first screw and server gear looks good, beginning on the second screw. The first screw gear as much as possible from the server, so that pressure is mounting claw away from the gear. The reason for this is because you are very close to the servo screw on, two gears, clutches will not be too tight to be able to open and close.

Both the pinch screw nut (see picture), you can work on both screw as parallel as possible to the server gear. You are very hard to mount the server, it will not be just tight enough.

Now that the server is mounted, the servo horn on the server gear claw loose gear slip the meeting. See the picture below:

Robot Claw Tutorial

Make sure and counterclockwise until it stops and make sure to turn on the server gear claw clamped and "closed" position is. The reason for this is because the server is just 180 degrees. You can not make it to its maximum counter-clockwise position, the claw may not open at all, or.

Hardware

OK! If everything went according to plan, a robotic claw gathering should be fully functional! Now we need to put it on an Arduino microcontroller. See the following picture:

Robot Claw Tutorial

The fastest way is to hook it up to your Arduino to see a working claw. I used to Uno, a 5V Arduino compatible board can be used to control the claw.

Three colored wires from the server as follows:

• Brown = GND
• Red = VCC
• Orange = Control

Respectively, following the colored pins on the Arduino servo cable hook-up:

• Brown = GND
• Red = 5V
• Orange = digital pin 9

Software

Once you're hooked up to Arduino, it's time to upload some code. Which version of the Arduino IDE should work. File> Examples> Server> Go to Sweep. The sketch pops up, and upload it to your Arduino open and close watch on your claw!

Problem Solve

Or try to open your claw is close and everything is hooked up correctly, then it might be possible that the robotic claw gears very exciting and very close together. You can just pull it loosens up a bit differently on the server and mount it on the push or pull to relieve a little loose gear will be mounted servers

Also, if your claw is very "loose," go ahead and tighten joints. Having too much tension will cause very tight joints and claw to move properly, so it does not allow you to leave a little slack. Joints tighten, just to get a pair of pliers and a screwdriver. Nuts and nut in position to use the screwdriver to drive the screws through the use of pliers.
