I started to polish the design but I still don’t have the gear relation tool figured out. I don’t know what’s is the problem with it because I tried many times, though with no success. I was also able to add minimum and maximum degree of rotation, however there are some parts that overlap and I should fix.
Overall I am happy with what I have done so far with the gripper mechanism, but I forgot one thing - I have to think of a way so the whole arm is power by one small servo. While, at first, it might not look as a hard task to do, though it will get complicated very fast.
I have to get back to work so wish me luck ;D.

I started working on the gripper of the robotic arm. So far so good though I still need to design the actual part, of the mechanism, that will be holding and lifting objects :D.
Also I want to figure out how to use the gear relation function in OnShape in order to have a better understanding of how the gripper will look and look like.
Forgot to mention that the mechanism will be power by either on or two SG92R servos that have 180 degrees of rotation available (I will be used only 90 of the ;D).

Lately I have been just doing CAD and I am close to finalising the design.
I have made the two arms and the only things left to do are to make some little adjustments on the both the big and the small arms and also I have to design a gripper.
Overall I am pretty happy with the results and I feel very proud of myself because I have been using OnShape for like only 4 months and for the limited amount of time I have had to learn this software I feel very satisfied.
P.S. It is also pretty easy to assemble and disassemble ;D

Yesterday I wrote some code that allows for two continuous servos to be controlled by a joystick. The way it works - If the joy stick is a bit to the <- left the, servo will rotate slowly, if the joystick is to its maximum left position it will go fast (the same applies for the other direction). I also designed a case fore the servo that will work as a base of the arm.
Today after I had the parts 3D printed I finally had the opportunity to test my code. Overall it does not work ;c ?!?!?!!! It has al ot of lag and noise (at least that is what I think the problem is).
I will continue working on the code until I get it working and maybe try to finalize the CAD for the arm ig ;p.
