It seems there is alot of people on here who would like to control this arm themselves through their own VB program. People on this forum have claimed to have done it, but yet are not sharing how they did it. I am really hoping this thread will put a end to that and help us all.
I reall need to make a VB program for my arm, this is because the current software that came with it is … well rubbish and it wont do the job for what I want it too. Once I have wrtitten teh VB program and and stipping the arm apart and re-building my own custom build with it … I won’t go into detail about it.
Through much google research, I have found the following out:
The robot arm has several names - Robotic Arm Edge, OWI 535, KSR10.
Some chap has written some C# code using LibUSBDotNet to control the arm, that can be found here http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/libusbdotnet/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=75
I also know that it can be done through the driver for the arm, but dont know how as the user who said they did it hasnt shared that information.
The arm also comes with ElanUSB32.dll which is the .dll file for the board, again I have seen on here that someone has used that to control the arm but hasnt shared it.
So it is not impossible. Please can anyone at all help me get this up and running, and as a return to help us all I will fully document and provide sample VB apps for this robotic arm completely free of charge.
