Me Arm

[Les Hall]

Hi Randy, 

I have decided to get a Me Arm Kit with my own cash from the small allotment that I get from the business office here at the nursing home.  It's only $40 and this way I can learn as well as create my own kinematics if I want to, or at least give it a try.  

You'll recall that I was able to create a very simple trig expression for the robot that I designed to do the kinematics.  I think it was just one of many possible outputs from forward kinematics that exist, but anyway it was fun to do.  

With the Me Arm approach I can study the Me Arm and learn from it before revising the design that I created.  You see, I came home and found that my NEMA 17 motors were either well hidden or stolen.  I guess they LOOK expensive even though they are not.  Nothing in this lab except the printer is expensive.  And I can't run the printer because I'm on oxygen now.

Hi, Les...good for you in getting back home. Sorry about the O2 ball and chain but I presume it's for your good and will get off it when possible. We all saw your animation of the robot arm...the Me Arm? Best wishes on controls.
