OWI Robotic Arm Edge Features:

Usb Interface Protocol For Owi Robotic Arm Edge For Mac Osx

  • 187 piece kit
  • No Soldering Required
  • Multiple movements and functions
  • Robotic arm gripper opens and closes
  • Radial wrist motion of 120°
  • Extensive elbow range of motion of 300°
  • Base rotation of 270°
  • Base motion of 180°
  • Vertical reach of 15 inches
  • Horizontal reach of 12.6 inches
  • Lifting capacity of 100g
  • Search light on the gripper
  • Audible safety gear indicator is included on all 5 gear boxes to prevent potential injury or gear breakage during operation
  • Manipulation using the “5’s”, five-switch wired controller, 5 motors, 5 gear boxes, and 5 joints
  • Remote requires no extra batteries

NOTES:

  • Costs about $40 on Amazon
  • Requires 4 D-size batteries (not included), get these before you even begin. You will put it together faster than you think(1-3 hours)
  • There are no sensors on the robot
  • There is no gripper rotation
  • Test motors before you assemble in case they are defective in anyway. You do not want to have to take this apart and reassemble
  • Smaller than it looks

OWI-535/SOFT USB Interface with Programmable Software for Robotic Arm Edge

Costs about $35 on Amazon

This package allows you to connect the OWI Robotic Arm Edge to a PC and have real time manual control of the robotic arm and program the arm to perform a sequence of movements.

The USB Interface Kit comes complete with a CD, printed circuit board, USB cable and accessories, and a detailed instruction manual.

OWI Robotic Arm Edge – You can use USB interface module to connect it to PC. Unfortunately official software works only under Windows and do not provide API. I have been able to reverse engineer their USB protocol and write sample code which allows to control the arm from Mac and Linux.

This is USB device with vendor id 0x1267 and product id 0. The device is controlled by 3 byte commands sent via USB control transfers. Command format is byte0, byte1, byte2. Each byte controls a group of arm features. All motors could be controlled independently. Most commands start action which is continued until next action is signalled. Byte ’00’ universally used as stop action.
