The augmented board runs micro-Max source code, enabling chess logic to be executed on an Arduino Mega with room for control functions for a 6DOF robotic arm.

But what if there was a way to bridge that gap? This robot arm guide offers a guide to building a mini robotic arm using Arduino, complete with 3D-printed parts and easy-to-follow instructions.

The robot itself is Arduino-based and has the option to attach any end effector that might be needed for a wide range of processes.

As he manipulates the replica, the values of the potentiometers are read by a Raspberry Pi and some custom Python code which sends the appropriate G-code to the Arduino/grbl controlled robot arm.

As a smaller, sleeker version of the company’s original arm, the uArm Swift is an Arduino-controlled robot arm inspired by massive industrial robot arms often found in factories.
