Armdroid 1

A blog covering the restoration work of a 1980's Colne Robotics Ltd. robotic arm called ARMDROID 1 and interfacing to modern day computer systems such as Raspberry Pi, Arduino, IBM PC, Mobile computing devices, and more... We'll also make use of rich development technologies on the way to build some truly exciting projects. Also now covering the Armdroid 1000 by D&M Computing Inc. and later LabVolt models.
