MeCon Ver 1.5 Notes:

• Free Robotic Arm 3D models for download, files in 3ds, max, c4d, maya, blend, obj, fbx with low poly, animated, rigged, game, and VR options.
• Robot Control software, free download - DownloadX ActiveX Download Control, Bluetooth Software Ver.6.0.1.4900.zip, Nokia Software Updater, and many more programs.

New MeCon3 is now Available! see top of page.

Due to problems with Google Drive MeCon is now download-able from our Robot Shop site. This requires that you first put the software into a shopping cart and then checkout. there will be no charge and you will be sent a link to your email. Sorry for the inconvenience of this extra step.

Arduino Programing Resources. Download Arduino IDE Software - Available for Windows, Mac & Linux The Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) enables you to modify the robotic arm control example source code (copy and paste code from the MeCon resources window) or write your own code and then download it to your Robotio controller or other Arduino compatible micro-controller. In the last two decades, robot arms have migrated from industrial tools to household tools, toys, and DIY projects. Here we list a few of the best robot arms that you can buy or 3D print to extend your workshop or just use for fun! Alibre Design ArchiCAD AutoCAD. Low cost Robotic Arm. The GrabCAD Library offers millions of free CAD designs, CAD files, and 3D.

MeCon Version 1.4

Incorporated all of previous dev releases. Added pause and rewind buttons for motion path playback. Edited some text and labels to improve usability. Disabled old 'config' comport settings. Fixed missing line bug with looped playback option.

New Features in MeCon D_1.3

ROBOTIO NANO Controller wiring diagrams added.

Run motion path files from Arduino Memory (SRAM) with new Array sketch code generator, allows running motion file without being connected to MeCon on your computer.

New SRAM array example Arduino code.

New Features in MeCon D_1.21

Fixed Issue when deployed on Win10,( Comport Scan Error)

No longer use .zip compression to save confusion with extraction processes, directly executable .exe file now

download and place in your folder of choice, Example 'C:MeConMeConVerD_1.21.exe' Two additional servo control's. Can be used with robotic arms that have 4,5 or 6 servo motor's.

NOTE! All Arduino sketch code samples have bean tested on Robotio Nano and Arduino Nano & Uno compatible boards with ATmega328P processors. they should work on others but might need additional coding to deal with the specifics of that board and its processor. unless otherwise stated all sketch code information is in reference to these boards.

On Saturated PID Controllers for Industrial Robots: the PA10 Robot Arm as Case of Study

Robotic Arm Design software, free download 2018

This paper proposes an alternative to the saturated nonlinear PID controller previously presented by Santibaez et al. (2010) which, also, results from the practical implementation of the classical PID controller, by considering the natural saturations of the electronics in the control computer...

Sliding Mode Control of Robot Manipulators via Intelligent Approaches

A paper that addresses the sliding mode control (SMC) of n-link robot manipulators by using of intelligent methods including fuzzy logic and neural network strategies. Three control strategies were used. In the first was the design of a sliding mode control with a PID loop for robot manipulator...

Hyper Redundant Manipulators

A research in the field of hyper redundant robots experimenting on used cables and DC motors or stepper motors. The rotation which by correlated screwing and unscrewing of their ends determine their shortening or prolonging, and by consequence, the tentacle curvature reducing the inverse...
