using it in test fixture

OK I'm only giving it four stars because I never got it hooked up to my Jetson and I moved onto a different project but the bill quality looks amazing and it comes with everything in it and there's so much support that this thing is awesome no matter what and there's a lot of versions so that's better too

MaxArm was a quality piece of equipment out of the box and initially worked with the Bluetooth app, mouse, and some functionality of the computer-based app. Unfortunately, the documentation is insufficient to clarify how to proceed with programming the device with MicroPython. After a few sessions using the computer-based app, the servos stopped responding and I had to return it.

The LewanSoul Robotic Arm Kit, MaxArm for ESP32, is an impressive piece of technology that offers a versatile and powerful tool for both hobbyists and educators. This open-source smart robot arm is equipped with advanced features, including bus servos, a suction nozzle, and WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, making it an ideal choice for a variety of projects.One of the standout aspects of the MaxArm is its compatibility with Python programming, which allows for extensive customization and control. The ability to program this robot arm using Python opens up endless possibilities for automation, precise movements, and complex tasks. Additionally, the inclusion of both WiFi and Bluetooth connections ensures seamless integration with various devices and platforms.The MaxArm is also an excellent educational tool, providing a hands-on learning experience in STEM fields. The kit includes everything needed to get started, making it perfect for beginners and advanced users alike. The bus servos deliver smooth and accurate movements, and the suction nozzle adds another layer of functionality, enabling the arm to handle a variety of objects with ease.Overall, the LewanSoul Robotic Arm Kit, MaxArm for ESP32, is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to explore robotics, automation, and programming. Its robust features, open-source flexibility, and educational value make it a standout product in the market.

I largely agree with Vinnie881's review. The arm felt well-built and the servos stronger than I expected. There are options for Bluetooth, Mouse/Joypad, a separete serial link for control by Arduino boards. But it's suprisingly difficult to write a program on the PC to control the arm. 4 stars because I read Vinnie's review before I bought it and I knew what to expect Edit. I put my code on GitHub as MaxArmControl

Bueno, accesible, excelente para iniciar en la robótica.

Exactly what the title says

I rarely leave a bad review, but this robot works as a toy when you contol via Bluetooth or usb and software, but if you want to control it and run things on demand for a purpose it is worthless. There are no code samples that show how to control via serial/usb/bt live, and directions only show how to Upload code to the robot and make it do things, not control it live. Without those samples this product is just a toy and can’t be used for any real purpose. I would give a much better review if they provided a way to live control via python, but I don’t have 15 hours to dissect and figure out how to communicate w/ the device via usb cable and code. **** after about 4 hours I was able to figure out how to directly control this via cable and blu tooth from My python scripts(had to trace my serial port and recreate the commands and send via python. Now I can do what I wanted. There should def be code samples included to show direct control via python (not uploading scripts to the device itself). If anyone else needs let me know. It is pretty cool once working…. Def was a pain though and if you are not a decent nerd this is pretty much a paperweight as I have 30 years as a tech professional and it was hard for me. *update* I ordered a second one of these. It I not perfect and misses commands at times, but fixed by double sending in my code. At its price there is nothing better out there. I still do not recommend to a non tech individual. This would be a 5 star rating had the code samples come with it and better instructions to control it via code.
