miniArm Open-Source AI Robotic Arm Support Sensor Expansion, Arduino Programming

miniArm is an open-source robotic arm tailored for beginners. Built upon Atmega328 and compatible with Arduino, it boasts a 6-channel knob controller, Bluetooth module, high-precision digital servos, and other high-performance hardware. Additionally, it offers several interfaces reserved for sensor expansions, enhancing user flexibility for secondary development.

Arduino Programming, Open Source - miniArm is built on the Atmega328 platform and is compatible with Arduino programming. The programs for miniArm are open-source, and learning tutorials and secondary development examples are available, making it easier for you to develop your robotic hand.

High Performance Hardware, Support Sensor Expansion - miniArm is equipped with a 6-channel knob controller, Bluetooth module, high-precision digital servos, and other high-performance hardware. Moreover, it provides multiple expansion ports for sensor integration, including ESP32 Cam, accelerometer, touch sensor, glowy ultrasonic sensor, etc., empowering users to engage in secondary development for sonic ranging and pose control capabilities.

Versatile Control Options - miniArm supports app control, and users can utilize knob potentiometers for real-time knob control and offline action editing. 

Arduino Compatibility

Compatible with Arduino hardware interfaces and Arduino IDE. Open-source code with detailed comments is provided for your development.

Dynamic Control with Knob

Control robotic arm joint movements quickly through the knob potentiometer, immersing yourself in the seamless operation of the robotic arm.

APP Control

Take command of miniArm effortlessly through app, allowing you to execute desired actions with the tap of a button or the swipe of a slider.

Offline Motion Editing

Record robotic arm motions swiftly using the knob potentiometer and buttons. This feature allows offline motion editing and operation.

Anti-blocking Servo - Equipped with built-in stall protection algorithm, ensuring the servo won't burn out due to blockage or collision,significantly extending its lifespan.

Support AI Vision Module - The miniArm can be expanded with ESP32Cam module to unlock a wider range of creative vision applications.

Built-in Bluetooth Module - The miniArm expansion board loads a Bluetooth interface for integration with Bluetooth module. This feature will be helpful for your project development.

Boundless Creativity - Expand the capabilities of miniArm with avariety of sensors and unlock endless possibilities for your project.

Sonic Ranging

Users can position obstacles in front of the glowing ultrasonic module of miniArm and then move the obstacle toward miniArm. The robot will respond differently, and its RGB light will change based on the distance from the obstacle.

Pose Control

Utilize an acceleration sensor to detect the pose, which in turn regulates the gripping and placing actions of the robotic arm.

Sonic Ball Grabbing

When the glowing ultrasonic module of miniArm detects an object, the buzzer on the expansion board will emit a sound, and the RGB light will turn green. At this point, the user can place a ball in the center of the robotic arm, prompting the robot to grasp the ball and initiate rotation to the left side to release it.

Touch Grabbing

Users can activate the miniArm, turn it on and start controlling it by touching the touch sensor's metal plate. Touch the robotic arm to pick up the block, then touch the robotic arm to place the block. At the same time, you can also control the color change of the RGB light.
