uStepper Robot Arm Wrist Joints by phiatt

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

I like the design of the uStepper Robotic Arm so much I have started to build one. Unfortunately for my preference, it has limited wrist movement.
I use a 28BYJ-48 12V stepper for the angular wrist movement and a micro geared stepper for the rotational movement..
This is only a prototype for now, basically proof of concept. The only down side is the 28BYJ stepper looses position when the power is removed. I am going to look into using some type of gear reduction for the angular movement and some how reduce the mass of the end-effector
This 28BYJ stepper or similar:

And this micro geared stepper:

Now remember, this is a prototype and/or a work in progress, any suggestions will be considered and appreciated.
