Dan RoyerA quick pic of my work this morning on the software interface. It features a 1:1 model of the arm and controls to move each joint. it also has controls for the camera. When the arm connects to the software the arm on the screen will match the real-world device. Some of the moving parts haven't been correctly positioned in space yet, but give it 24h and things will firm up a lot.
I could use some help improving the look. I'm not great with OpenGL lighting, and I can't unwrap and paint a model to save my life. It should look more like this:

So... if you have any artistry in you, please let me know. If there's a way I can make it easier for you, let me know. Maybe I need to write my own "color by triangle" app...
Also, PCB has been received.

Already the mess on my desk is getting better. Being my first run on my first board I've gained a lot of valuable experience. I take it for granted when I get a board that it's been thoroughly tested. Here I'm looking at this thing like it's a bomb of some kind - one wrong wire and it could fry a few hundred $. Going to have to test it so carefully...
