Arduino TinkerKit Braccio Robot

Unlock the unlimited potential of robotics and mechanics with BRACCIO!

The TinkerKit Braccio is a fully operational robotic arm, controlled via Arduino. It can be assembled in several ways for multiple tasks such as moving objects. You can also attach a camera or solar panel. There are so many ways in which the Braccio can extend the reach of your devices.

Power

It is recommended to power the board via the jack connection with a regulated 5 VDC @ 5000 mA power supply provided in the box.

There is an on-board voltage regulator for higher voltages that protect the Braccio shield. NOTE: The protection doesn’t work for the Arduino Yun if you put the bridge between Vin and 5V on the Arm Robot Shield V1 (greater version of are called Braccio shield and has a power switch on the top of the shield)

Braccio Shield: The maximum length and width of the Braccio Shield PCB are 2.7 and 2.1 inches respectively, with the power jack extending beyond the former dimension. Four screw holes allow the board to be attached to a surface or case. Note that the distance between digital pins 7 and 8 is 160 mil (0.16"), not an even multiple of the 100 mil spacing of the other pins.
