video Project 2: Delta Robot
This is a delta robot, aka a pick & place machine. When done right they can be incredibly fast and accurate. Combined with a camera they can do all kinds of assembly line work. With three more servos I could make a hexapod (aka Stewart Platform) which is a really great way to build a flight/driving simulator.
In my upcoming instructable you will learn:
- how to build the robot
- how to apply high school algebra to program the robot in arduino
- the importance of doing your homework
Here's the SourceForge project with all the code to simulate / run your own. Includes Arduino-ready code, too!

The openGL simulator, does it need to be compiled? Can you post a standalone or a executable for us non-programmer mortals?
again..nice work!
I believe there's a precompiled windows exe in the package. You can plug the pins directly into the PWMs. I would suggest using a breadboard to make your life easier. I used a shield for v1, and threw it out in v2 because it added too much error. If you really want to do this well switch up to stepper motors and sparkfun EasyDrivers to get much higher resolution, control, and stability.
can you compile it?
sadly I only have 180º servos at the time...
Do they still work with your arduino code? Do I have to modify your firmata to match my servo pins?
Almost guaranteed you will have to change firmware or setup to make the two match.
Added a zip with the windows exe to https://sourceforge.net/projects/visual-delta3/files/
I´ll bother you again most certainly ! here in Argentina it´s hard to find any resources....
