Make: Robotic Arms

181Chapter 9: Inverse Kinematics for 3D Movement

the inverse kinematics, telling our motors to respond to the changing angle

values, and printing out the result can be iterated though each time the loop

is completed.

Once you have written, compiled, and uploaded the code above, you should

start to see the end effector of the robotic arm slowly trace the eight corners

of a cube. Keep in mind that this sample code can be updated, altered, and

customized to make all kinds of shapes. By adding coordinates, we can

program all kinds of interesting shapes and movements for our robotic arm.

Now, before we move on to our next robotic-arm design, there’ ...
