This week I began working with the robotic arm, Scorbot ER-III. It's been a bit trickier than I'd like to admit, but I've established connections with all of the motors in the arm, and am able to control them with the controller I've created and affectionately named 'Cordzilla.'
I did however have to take apart the gear box for the motor in the gripper, and found out that a gear inside was completely stripped, but the replacement should be coming soon, so stay tuned!
