Original Rugged Metal On/Off Switch with White LED Ring (1066mm White On/Off) – PartsCountry

Description

The MeArm Maker Kit V3 is an easy-to-build robot arm kit that’s designed to get children (and adults!) learning about technology, engineering and programming. It’s been expressly designed to be easy to build (age 11+) and use.

This version comes without a microcontroller/driver, giving you the freedom to select your own. It’s easy to get it working with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, micro:bit?and any other microcontroller platform you can think of – so long as it can control four or more servos via PWM. Even boards that can’t control servos usually have shields/HATs that can provide the ability to do so.

The MeArm Maker has been designed from the ground up to be easy to assemble. Children can build it themselves and we suspect adults may be able to build it unaided too. The only tool you’ll need to build it is a hex key, and one is included in the box!

Build Video

Build along with MeArm designer Ben Gray with the video below. It’s useful to understand what’s involved with the build.

(…and we think this could be classed as unintentional ASMR what with the birds singing and Ben’s calm voice!)
