Along with the robotic arm this is a nice toy.Everything works but it’s impossible to make anything useful with this arm.You can only teach your kid basics about robotics. For a toy is kind of expensive.I couldn’t make a complete cycle using the super basic programing module..the reason being the fact that the computer sends on/off signals to the motors but it doesn’t “remember” the initial position, plus there are imperfections in the gears (like loose gears) and when you repeat a move it accentuates the error.
You can program it, alright, but since the function is time based not initial/final position you can’t get the same move second or third time.
I kind of repeated my self. I hope you get what I’m saying.
However, you can connect different devices through this interface if you are creative.
