Unlock the unlimited potential of robotics and mechanics with BRACCIO!
The
TinkerKit Braccio is a fully operational robotic arm, controlled via
Arduino. It can be assembled in several ways for multiple tasks such as
moving objects. You can also attach a camera or solar panel. There are
so many ways in which the Braccio can extend the reach of your devices.
Please note: Arduino board not included.
Power
It is recommended to power the board via the jack connection with a regulated 5 VDC @ 4000 mA power supply provided in the box.
There
is an on-board voltage regulator for higher voltages that protect the
Braccio shield. NOTE: The protection doesn’t work for the Arduino Yun if
you put the bridge between Vin and 5V on the Arm Robot Shield V1
(greater version of are called Braccio shield and has a power switch on
the top of the shield)
Braccio Shield: The maximum length and
width of the Braccio Shield PCB are 2.7 and 2.1 inches respectively,
with the power jack extending beyond the former dimension. Four screw
holes allow the board to be attached to a surface or case. Note that the
distance between digital pins 7 and 8 is 160 mil (0.16"), not an even
multiple of the 100 mil spacing of the other pins.
