Re: 1189 - Human-Bot Arm Control

More info.... (Mark and I are playing off each other's posts).....

LEDs on the joystick handle attached to the arm:
- Red only (arm disabled)
- Green only (arm enabled)
- Red and Green (arm enabled and turret enabled)

Buttons:
- enable/disable arm
- enable/disable turret
- rotate wrist left
- rotate wrist right

We looked at using the tophat to control the wrist...but the position of the tophat was not ergonomically 'good'...and we ran out of time to do more work on the arm to make it usable.
