My first post, sharing my robot project!
This is a robotic arm that i build some months ago
This was my first robot build, now im thinking about scaling up and maybe using 1/4scale servos.
The part was routed in my homemade cnc.

Niiice. More info on the pc-servo interface please

[pontus01]

The interface is the SSC-32 Servo Controller from lynxmotion, I also used there software: RIOS / SSC-32 Arm Control Software
This i can highly recommend if you are a newbie like me

The software look good, but it would be nice if you could use standard servo drives and servos

[pontus01]

I don´t know, but i don´t think so.
If you want to go big the SSC-32 Servo Controller handles 1/4 scale servos.

I am looking to purchase a similar size robot arm designed for CNC trimming of complex shape parts? I would build one but considering purchasing only because I am pressed for time. Any help in this direction is appreciated.
