Gazint Robotic Arm v1 (Open Source)

thingiverse

The goal of Gazint is to be an open-source, low-cost robotic arm that is able to grab small objects through fine and general movement of servo motors. The purpose of Gazint is to provide the foundation for making a completely open-source, AI-based, modularized robotic arm that can assist those who may not have the physical capacity to complete fine and or general movements. I decided to start working on Gazint as I noticed a lack of quality yet affordable tools to assist those struggling with motor skills. I aim to try to fix this and encourage you to join me in my efforts. Part Manifest: 1x Arduino Uno (power off 5v battery pack) 5x 10K potentiometers 2x 5v battery packs (AAA battery) 1x 7v PSU @2amp 1x Breadboard 2x SG90 servo motor (power of Arduino, may need capacitors if wanting a more smooth/ snappy gripper actuation. ) 3x MG996 servo motor (power off of PSU) 20x computer screws. PLA plastic rubberband for main arm to upper base attachment ( aids in reducing motor strain, optional if on a budget) wire sleeving (optional) Print the arm parts with supports; supports may be hard to remove...good luck! The summary still w.i.p, Updates with an explanation on wiring coming within 24hr. I have added some photos of the breadboard layout for now.
