OWI-535PC-ACT ROBOTIC ARM KIT with USB PC INTERFACE and Activities and Experiments Curriculum
Riding the wings of the award winning Robotic Arm Trainer, OWI has made robotic arm technology more affordable without compromising quality. With Robotic Arm Edge, command the gripper to open and close, wrist motion of 120 degrees, an extensive elbow range of 300 degrees, base rotation of 270 degrees, base motion of 180 degrees, vertical reach of 15 inches, horizontal reach of 12.6 inches, and lifting capacity of 100g. WOW! Some of the added features include a search light design on the gripper and a safety gear audible indicator is included on all five gear boxes to prevent any potential injury or gear breakage during operation. How does this equate to fun? Total command and visual manipulation using the 5s: five switch wired controller, five motors, and five joints. Night time play is possible and extended life on the gearbox to prolong your control and predictions of the robot’s behavior.

The OWI USB interface CD and board connects the OWI's 535 Robotic Arm Edge to a Windows personal computer USB port. The interface software allows real time interactive control, plus contains a built-in interactive script writer. A user may write a script that contains up to 99 individual robotic arm functions (including pauses) into a single script file. Script files may be saved and loaded from disk just like any other standard computer file.
Script files may be replayed up to 99 times for demonstrating computer controlled automation and animatronics. The Robotic Arm PC Interface creates a fun way of learning and experimenting with computer automation and animatronics. Interface may be purchased as a kits requiring soldering and assembly or pre-assembled and tested. see prices below.
The Interface Includes:
Windows 2000/XP/Vista programs (OWI-535 & OWI-007)
Printed Circuit Board for easy construction
All components
USB cable
Jumper selectable for either OWI-535 or OWI-007 robotic arms
