This software was created so students would have full control of the arm without having to spend significant time programming, and integrate it easily into a larger manufacturing \/ assembly system. \u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"width:200px\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.robotshop.com\/media\/files\/images2\/pltw-logo.jpg\" alt=\"FlowArm PLTW (Download)\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\r\n\u003c\/table\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComplete Control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ctable border=\"0\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctbody\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eFlowARM PLTW works with the versatile Lynxmotion SSC-32 servo controller board which not only allows for control of the 6 servo motors of the AL5D arm (with wrist rotate), but also allows for control of additional digital I\/O via the interface: \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e2 additional servo outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e8 outputs available for lights, buzzers, and other devices\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e4 inputs for receiving start and stop signals\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\nThe digital inputs and outputs are particularly useful for interfacing the Lynxmotion AL5D with other robot systems used in the PLTW CIM course. This way, the arm can move a object into place, activate another robot, wait until it is done, and then move the object away.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The SSC-32 and SSC-32U servo controllers can be easily adapted for Bluetooth (wireless) control. As such, the software automatically scans all of the computer's COM ports at various Baud rates in order to automatically detect and connect to the controller, whether it is connected using a cable or via Bluetooth.\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"width:200px\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.robotshop.com\/media\/files\/images2\/flowarm-pltw-arm.jpg\" alt=\"FlowArm PLTW (Download)\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\r\n\u003c\/table\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePattern Sequencer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFlowArm PLTW has a powerful pattern sequencer component (normally found only in the full version of FlowBotics Studio) that is used to create reusable patterns within minutes or hours, instead of days or weeks.
