Doit arm based on ESPDuino
An open source WiFi controlled 6 DOF robot arm on tank is designed in this project. The robot arm is driven by 6 digital servo. The tank is driven by 2 DC gear motors. All the digital servos and DC gear motors are driven by a 2 way motor & 16-way servo board. The controller is ESPDuino, which is designed from Doit team(www.doit.am). ESPDuino is an Arduino UNO R3 compatible ESP8266 development board based on ESP13 module.
The software is designed based on the project: https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino. A http webserver and UDP server are embedded. OTA function is integrated to update firmware freely. Robot inverse kinematics algorithm is implemented on ESPDuino. The end effector can be moved in tool or cartier coordinate system like a commercial robot arm! A simple UDP based command line interface is provided for controlling.
