ArmControl Motions

Software allows a Lynxmotion robotic arm to interface with a computer. The software can: –Make the arm move from your PC –Control the arm as well as two other servos –Save a sequence of steps and repeat it accurately –Use inputs and outputs to make your robot communicate with other equipment (e.g., VEX ® components) ArmControl Studio

WARNING! Be sure to keep clear of the robot and mount it securely, as it may move at any time during the programming process. Be sure that the work envelope area is clear before turning on your robot or opening the ArmControl software.

WARNING! 1.Do not manually rotate or turn the wrist rotate servo. 2.Do not leave servos holding a position for a prolonged period of time. 3.Do not leave the gripper closed tightly on itself or on another object. 4.Do not leave a robot’s arm outstretched and straining for a prolonged time. 5.Be sure all servo connections are always in the correct orientation.

ArmControl will start in Medium screen resolution mode Software Setup – Window Resize

Software Setup – Communication ArmControl will auto search all available com ports for an attached robot. WARNING! While shutting down the robot, always close the software and then turn off the robot. Never unplug the robot USB with the software open as it can cause windows to crash.

Software Setup - Arm Calibration Select the robot size (AL5A or AL5D) Refine each joint rotation using the calibration dials until the robot & the onscreen image match Turn off the calibration to save the current settings Select the robot size (AL5A or AL5D) Refine each joint rotation using the calibration dials until the robot & the onscreen image match Turn off the calibration to save the current settings

Moving the Arm – Drag & Drop Selecting inside the top elevation envelope allows you to grab and rotate the waist CW or CCW. Selecting anywhere inside the side elevation envelope brings the wrist joint to your cursor and allow you to reposition the robot. WARNING! Selecting an area inside the side elevation work envelope far away from the wrist servo can make the robot jerk rapidly as it tries to bring this joint to your cursor and could damage you robot.

Moving the Arm – Z Axis

Moving the Arm – Y Axis

Moving the Arm – X Axis (Shift + Left Mouse Button)

Rotating the Hand (Right Mouse Button) Use the right mouse button anywhere inside either work envelope to control the up and down rotation of the hand.

Rotating the Wrist (Shift + Right Mouse Button) The wrist can be controlled by dragging the wrist icon or using the CW and CCW radio buttons.

Controlling the Gripper (Ctrl + Right Mouse Button) The gripper can be controlled by dragging the gripper icon or using the open and close radio buttons. WARNING! Leaving the gripper closed tightly on itself or an item for extended periods of time can decrease the life of the servo.

Controlling Spare Servo A&B The spare servos A and B can be controlled by dragging the servo dials or by using the up and down radio buttons.
