robotic arm

Hi everyone currently i'm building a robotic arm from a website i found online and was wondering if i could use an arduino instead of the Bot Board II. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

can I use the same code provided on the website?

Does anyone wanna guide me through this project it would be greatly appreciated?!?!?!?!?!:):):slight_smile:

same code? - no (doesnt look like it)

Also... it looks as if the board as does SOUND/AUDIO for you? You wont be able to do that with a stock Arduino board, unless you only wanna plays beeps and tones, you'll need a daughter/audio board of some kind.

Are you using 4 servos as well? You will not be able to drive (power) these from the Arduino.. you'll need to power it from the battery source directly as only use 1 wire (per servo) to control it.. (tip: make sure you connect ALL ground wires together)

You might wanna get a servo board or something to help with this, similar to this perhaps:
