Re: Robot arm

[Simon Engler]

Hi Ileana,

Please use the space farm google-group for all communications.
Otherwise others will fall out of the loop completely.

Couple things pop to mind. There are two types of arm controllers,
open/closed. It is not clear if those are difference control boards or
different types of servos from what I have read.

Does the wire with clip attached have a green wire? It may be there
just cut back a bit more.

I would connect the wires and see if you can control it. If so, then
cut the clip off and soldier onto the wires of the new part.

If it doesn't work contact Erik, and see what he thinks. It is
possible they sent the wrong part.

Hi Simon,

The wire with the clip attached does not have a green wire. Or at least when I looked at it, I couldn't find one.

I currently do not have access to the arm as I am in Honolulu right now. I will email Erik and ask for advice.

Thanks,

Ileana
