Description

The OWI Edge Robotic Arm is a child's toy that is built from a kit. An optional USB interface is available through which communication from a Linux computer is possible. Using the Raspberry Pi and asyn support, this hands-on IOC demonstrates how modestly a "complete" control system might be constructed, including GUI.
