# EEZYbotARM MK2 Software [![CircleCI](https://circleci.com/gh/justbuchanan/eezybotarm-mk2-software.svg?style=svg)](https://circleci.com/gh/justbuchanan/eezybotarm-mk2-software)

Collection of software for the [EEZYbotARM MK2](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1454048).

This project contains two main programs:

* An [arduino](https://www.arduino.cc/) program that listens for commands over the serial connection and controls servo movement. See the code in the `arduino` directory and instructions in the makefile for details. You will need to compile this program and flash it to your eezybotarm's arduino.
* A gui application built with Qt that sends commands to the arm over a serial (usb) connection.

## Install dependencies

Download this repo, then install the required python packages:

```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

You'll also need [arduino-mk](https://github.com/sudar/Arduino-Makefile) in order to build the firmware

## Build and upload arduino firmware

```
cd arduino
make
make upload
```

## Run control app

```
cd qt-app
PYTHONPATH=../ python main.py
```

The arm can be moved in 3 ways:

* Drag the sliders that represent the three servo positions
* Vim-like keyboard shortcuts: h, j, k, l
* SpaceNavigator 3d mouse
