I havent even watched more than 10 minutes and i can already tell you enjoy these projects. Like you have everything in the description and thats great, so thank you for making it as easy as possible to follow along
This is awesome. Just discovered your channel and I look forward to seeing what you work on! My son is really into the idea of making robots, so hopefully we can get some inspiration from you!
Hi, I don’t think maximum degrees of it really matters. I also have questions with servos type. can I use MG995 to replace MG996R? Does it use the same library as MG996R or how do I change it? Thanks!
Hey dude! Great video! You probably have fixed this by know, but at 13:48, there is a lot of stringing that's occurring, you can easily fix it by increasing the retraction length on your 3d printer
I think I am going to try and modify this concept to be a backpack with two arms, perhaps an option to detach and roll away so it can be used remotely.
i am currently working on fruit plucking robotic arm so can yu help me like what kind of camera i can use for getting the distance of the fruit and also how can i convert that coordinates into robotic arm movements

Hey Om, Great that you're working on this project! I wod suggest breaking down the "nothing" into smaller tasks / wins. (Makes it easier to debug) Are you able to get the motors spinning? If so, are you able two Bluetooth modules communicating with each other? If so, are you able to get one Bluetooth module to send data to move the motors? Hopefully breaking these down into smaller tasks would help making the debugging easier. Good luck!
Thats a cool robot arm i know theorical physics so i can already imagine what its like to make my own after all Einstein was also a theorical physicist and he said himself that imagination is more important than knowledge.
I’m building one of theses for my father, he has lost the strength in his fingers and can’t pick up a fork to feed himself or hold a cup to have a cup of tea. Giving him the glove will give him his independence back. This has wonderful possibilities
is there a way to power all of the arduinos without the need to rely on a battery? or is there any sort of specific power supply that can be used to keep it powered from an outlet or something that will keep it consistantly on?
Hello, I have a 5-axis robotic arm, an arduino mega 2560 board, a bluetooth module and a gyro module(gy-521). I would like the handsets to constitute a single block of code that will allow me to control the arm from my smartphone. I am asking for your help with programming. Thanks
Hi Eben, I'm about to start this project but have two questions. What was the item at 12:37 on the back, was it a gear or something? Also, are there any exact instructions on how to assemble the robotic arm aswell as the required screws on the article i cant seem to find any.
hey man quick math quesition and also this is awesome dude, this is better than the last 3-d printed arm i saw and it's functionally better, also you went through everything and showed it working1 thank you!!!! but quick math question, you say it can lift 2kg max but for the MGR when i google it, the Maximum Stall Torque is 11 kg/cm @ (6V) aren't we like spacing out our torque or whatever so it can't actually pick up that much? I figured like 400 grams to a KG but 2? maybe some of my other robots are stronger than i thought... 0.0 idk if i missed it but can you explain that please? Also YOU'RE AWESOME!
Hi Greg, much appreciated, and thanks for the shout! You're right, this holds a comfortable weight of 600g. (Although It could theoretically hold up to 900g+) Yeah, I wish. The 2kg isn't correct, this was based on an earlier motor specs. I assume this was written in the article, I've corrected this now. Cheers!
@@EbenKouao honestly i'm not sure i've been on here, other videos of yours, and your website so idk. but okay 600g ahh makes sense that's still pretty awesome most of the arms you can buy for 700 or 800$ have about the same payload! this is friggin cool man! If you need stuff 3-d printed let me know! Altho i bet you have some of them too hah!
Mark 2 dropping ~ 1 month. This is going to be full open source. Have a look at @smartbuilds on insta for dev updates. New features, integrates with droiid Robot and stronger motors/ torque now using the NEMA stepper motors, and more! We’ll be experimenting with AI ;)
Hi, I was just wondering while I was trying to upload the code for the robotic arm it kept saying "H68CPCA95.h: no such file or directory". Why is that? I completely followed the steps too.
Hi Ali, you'll need to import the Motor Driver Library to the Arduino code. You can find the zip library to import in the blog equivalent in the description below. Good Luck!
Im new to your channel and just started getting into arduino tech. Everything is new to me but I would like to know more about the fundamentals. How did you get involved in this tech and what helped you understand the inner working of this versatile technology. Thanks ol cheeky fella
Hey Jesse, I studied Computer Engineering... but it was most of my fundaments that really came from playing around with projects starting with getting an Arduino LED to blink and going on from there. Personally, trying to get the project to work forces you to get your fundamentals right. Cheers, and Good luck on learning with an Arduino
Sir, can you make a video about the Arduino Bluetooth Robotic-arm tank and also give me the circuit diagram and the code for the Arduino Bluetooth Robotic-arm tank?
Hey man, been following your channel for a while now and love the content but just wondering where is a good foundation to start if I want to learn to code and make these projects like you, if it helps I study a level physics and maths. Love your content
Hey Sami, That's solid! Tbh, the best way that helped me is making mini-projects, building, and mixing projects to make newer projects. You'll be pushed/motivated to learn code if you want the project working. Probs, get an Arduino to blink an LED and go from there. (Also there's a lot of community support when learning) Good luck!
Sir, what courses do you learn to get into the robotics field? Sir, tell me, are you a mechanical engineer or electrical engineer, or mechatronics engineer? Sir, I want to become a robotics engineer, what do I study to get into robotic engineering?
Thanks for sharing your project. Recently, I am also making a robotic arm of my own. I am very lucky to see your video, which is very detailed and patiently explained, and the sound is very relaxing.
Hi Lorenzo, There are a few, but I'll recommend having a look at the official arduino/inscrutables / hackster blogs for example projects to make and build on top off. This way you could have hands on approach building projects.

Is there a way to map the value of the flex sensor to the servo motor position, rather than having the servo position just moving forward, backward, or not at all? Are you able to send the mapped value of the flex sensor via the HC-05 or are you limited to just a single character (ex. f or F)?
Hi Ethan, Good question. Possible with a bit of code: One way to do is to get the analog value readings from the flex sensor and map proportional to the movement of the motor. The only thing here is that it may be too accurate, so any spikes would need to be smooth out... possible to add a capacitor to smooth out the flex sensor values. Let me know if you try this approach. As this would be the next evolution to improving the robotic arm. Cheers
So I am relatively new to electronics related stuff ( more of a programmer), I looked up the servo motors used and apparently they can use over 2000mah under load, so I am confused on how you can power 6 of them with only a 2200 mAh battery? Wouldn't you need like 6x 2000mah = 12000mah battery?
Hi Eben! I am an engineering student and might be recreating this project for my honors project. Where can I find the full instructions to make this project?
I suddenly had this idea that I wanted to build a robot arm but didn't have a clue where to start. This video has given me the base knowledge I need to make the next steps. Thanks!
The arduino works well with the small servos but how can I apply it to much larger and more powerful arm make of metal to perform real tasks outside my home that I cannot do myself. Thanks for your help and video.
Hello, idk if you still look at the comments of this video, but is there a place where to explain step by step gow to build this? Including where to place the screws and all Pls i need help

Dude you're so underrated! You totally deserve more subscribers!
can I use the MG 996R that rotates 180 degrees, or does it have to be 360?
Hi, I don’t think maximum degrees of it really matters. I also have questions with servos type. can I use MG995 to replace MG996R? Does it use the same library as MG996R or how do I change it? Thanks!
this is amazing. I am in my third year of engineering and I need to write my dissertation this year. This would make for an interesting project.
Defenetly underrated talent. You will make it big.
Hey dude!
Great video!
You probably have fixed this by know, but at 13:48, there is a lot of stringing that's occurring, you can easily fix it by increasing the retraction length on your 3d printer
Keep up the good work man! Just bought my first arduino mega kit
Cheers Ben, got an interesting one dropping soon stay tuned ;)
Im SO glad I found your channel! keep it up man!
If you did more videos I am sure your views would be through the roof. That is srsly cool stuff.
You ma boy just got an extra subscriber.

Bro the stepper motor is not given in the description it would be nice if you add it
Outro tipo de sensor pode ser usado no projeto? Um sensor mais barato?
Popularity bump👍
Ayy!
where did you get the ball bearings and what is their size?
Hey Eben I just made the arm and the glove but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?
Hey Om,
Great that you're working on this project!
I wod suggest breaking down the "nothing" into smaller tasks / wins. (Makes it easier to debug)
Are you able to get the motors spinning?
If so, are you able two Bluetooth modules communicating with each other?
If so, are you able to get one Bluetooth module to send data to move the motors?
Hopefully breaking these down into smaller tasks would help making the debugging easier.
Good luck!
@@EbenKouao I just checked everything, and I can't get the Bluetooth module to send data to the motors.
Thats a cool robot arm i know theorical physics so i can already imagine what its like to make my own after all Einstein was also a theorical physicist and he said himself that imagination is more important than knowledge.
I’m building one of theses for my father, he has lost the strength in his fingers and can’t pick up a fork to feed himself or hold a cup to have a cup of tea. Giving him the glove will give him his independence back. This has wonderful possibilities
Wow, keep me posted
can you bild like a full hand? So you can controll a full hand, this would be so fookin cool
Sky's the limit ;) ... better sensors would be a worth looking into
nice video. do u also have the list of what type of screws use?
m3 screws. You can find more details on the screws used in the Description (ThingyVerse). Good luck!
Hey I love this and it’s amazing have you considered using potentiometers to track your absolute position of rotation for control?
Cheers, PBnnJ, Good idea...not for this project but building off this is definitely something to be used for a future project
Eben I wonder of me copying your instructions makes me just dumb, or smart...
is there a way to power all of the arduinos without the need to rely on a battery? or is there any sort of specific power supply that can be used to keep it powered from an outlet or something that will keep it consistantly on?
how do you control the arm without the glove?
