MeArm Robotic Arm
I was planning on building a robotic arm at some point but didn’t have any concrete plans. After reading a book on the Johnny Five platform I was considering building something super-cheap with lollypop sticks - then I stumbled upon the MeArm open source robotic arm. The retail price for the basic kit was a bit beyond what I was looking to spend that month but I liked the look of the arm enough to bookmark it and thought I’d have a quick look on eBay in case I could find one cheaper. By pure chance, someone was selling the acrylic parts for a stupidly low price and I knew I had the hardware and servos to complete the build so I purchased the item on the spot.
This project is a record of the build followed by the things I learn and any modifications I make.
