OWI Robotic Arm Edge

Post by bradnorwood »

Does anyone know how to get this arm to work with Flowstone? I have OWI's technician contact info if anyone is interested or has tried? Brad

Do you know if the arm uses servos or standard motors?

I believe that if you connected the leads to a servo/motor (whichever the arm uses) controller, you
should be able to make up a Flowstone program that can control it.

If you look in the "Flowstone Examples" section there are Flowstone programs for many different
controllers to get you started communicating between your computer and whatever controller you choose and the arm.

Hope this gets you started in the right direction! :)
