After the hard work of building a robot arm that can be controled with code - comes actually writing the code! We'll use GenAI to build some simple movement functions for the Robot Arm.

#robotics #3dprinting #raspberrypi

00:00 I don't fully trust AI
00:37 Current Setup - twitchy movements and basic code
01:25 Target state - smoothening and angle control
02:40 Using copilot in VSCode
03:30 Testing the smooth movement
05:00 Change the angles of the servos
05:55 Functions with different input
06:30 Make the Robot Wave
07:18 Wave Better!
07:50 Yes and No movements
08:35 Putting it all together in a loop
09:45 The final result!
10:07 Retrospective - what did we do
10:55 Limitaitons and future steps
