DIY Robotic Arm with Brushless DC Motors and Raspberry Pi JesseDarr’s new project is different from the usual DIY robotics project. He has made a robotic arm called dARM. It is a robotic arm with 6 degrees of freedom, and most of the parts are 3D printed. He has used brushless DC motors for its working rather than servo motors. These are the kind of motors you would usually find in more advanced machines, and they help the arm move more smoothly and… |
