Waveshare 4-DOF Metal Robot Arm Kit for Raspberry Pi – Bluetooth/Wi-Fi Control

This 4-DOF metal robotic arm kit is designed for Raspberry Pi, offering an excellent platform to explore AI-driven robotics. The kit includes a servo driver HAT, a sturdy metal mechanical structure, and four high-torque metal gear servos.

Servo Driver HAT:

• Compatible with Jetson Nano and Raspberry Pi with a 40PIN GPIO header.
• I2C-controlled, using only two pins.
• 16 servo/PWM outputs with a 12-bit resolution (4096 scales) are supported.
• Integrated 3A output 5V regulator for power efficiency.
• For more versatility, a standard servo interface with reserved I2C control pins is used.
• includes Python developer tools for controlling Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

Robot Arm Structure:

• 4-DOF design including a metal mechanical grasper and a solid base.
• constructed from a complete aluminum alloy and finished with sandblasting oxidation for longevity.
• well-thought-out mechanical structure enabling simple assembly and nimble control.
• outfitted with four metal gear servos for strong, fluid motion.
