MeArm Pocket Sized Robot Arm

DESCRIPTION

The MeArm is a flat pack robot arm kit that you can build with nothing but a screwdriver and enthusiasm. The perfect kit to get you started in the world of programming, electronics, robotics and engineering! The MeArm Maker kit is a product for those who want to provide their own controller

**This kit does not include a controller.** It can be operated via four PWM outputs from any microcontroller. Popular choices are Raspberry Pi, Arduino, BBC micro:bit and the Adafruit Feather. Here is a tutorial using the Arduino as a controller.

This robot arm kit is a miniature version of an industrial robot arm. So while it's simple enough to build and use with a child on a rainy Sunday afternoon, it can also be used at more advanced levels of education to teach real robotics, using sensors and technologies like inverse kinematics.

MeArm is the world's most accessible robotic learning tool. It's a perfect kit for a Maker project or to inspire interest into STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) subjects, introducing engineering, robotics, electronics and opening up a whole world of programming possibilities.

The MeArm project is officially Open Source . This means all of the design and code files are freely available for you to download, so that you can view, edit, and easily learn from all of the work that has been put into the project so far. This covers the files for laser cutting, the PCB board schematics and board files (which are KiCad) and all of the software.

Note: This model of the MeArm comes in Nuka Cola Blue.This kit does not come with a controller. The number and size of googly eyes supplied varies in every pack.

FEATURES

• Easy to build kit suitable for children aged 11 and above.
• It comes with a Hex key, the only tool required for the build.
• The classic version allows you to choose your own microcontroller.
• The classic version allows you to choose your own method of controlling the completed Arm.
• It's a lot of fun.
