Re: Arm Design Projects-help

Greetings!

I'm not quite sure I understand the question, but if you're looking for an arm simulation you may find this to be useful: http://fixermark.googlepages.com/ArmSimulator.zip

It's a simulator I crafted recently that uses Panda3D (which you can get at http://www.panda3d.org) to render a simple one-joint arm with a PID controller. You can modify the length and mass of the arm. This simulator was designed to teach programming concepts, so it isn't hugely accurate from a mechanical engineering standpoint. But if you're looking for a place to start, this might be useful.

Best of luck!
