Eric and Bre teamed up to create a joystick-controlled robot arm using popsicle sticks and a twitchie kit – nicely done! –
We hacked an old Atari joystick to control the arm, and each servo is manipulated in turn as you press the red button. It really was a ton of fun to bring this project together, and I’m amazed at what we did in a few hours. Huge thanks to Bre for having the hardware all set to go and to Raph for his awesome Twitchie kit and all his advice along the way.
