notes on a Gripper Kit and Servo motor

The following gripper kit is designed to be controlled by a servo motor, offering a practical introduction to robotic manipulation. This kit allows users to simulate the grasping and releasing motions of a robotic "hand," making it ideal for educational projects, hobbyist builds, and prototyping in automation. By integrating a servo motor, the kit ensures precise, responsive control, enabling users to perform tasks that require careful handling of objects. It’s a valuable tool for exploring the fundamentals of robotics, mechanics, and servo-controlled movement.

Example

Sketch

#include <Servo.h>

const int pinoServo = 6;

Servo s;

int pos;

void setup (){

s.attach(pinoServo);

s.write(0);

}

void loop(){

for(pos = 0; pos < 180; pos++){

s.write(pos);

delay(15);

}

delay(1000);

for(pos = 180; pos >= 0; pos--){

s.write(pos);

delay(15);

}

}
