Build kit

The Pick-and-Place Machine

The second kit on the Robotics shelf. An arm on two servos sorts items off a conveyor by colour: red into box A, yellow into box B, each into the next cell; a full box — a lamp and a wait. You turn a servo by a number, find the arm poses yourself in the tuner window and write them into memory, the conveyor brings the item right into the jaws, and a brain on ready CMOS 4000 chips (TI CD4017, CD4029, CD4585 and others) steps the whole job. In the last lesson the eight brain chips go into one GAL22V10 with a firmware file. 13 chips, 9,600 transistors.
