In truth, it’s hard to see it as anything but a gaming PC. It’s got water cooling, RGB LED lighting, and an ATX power supply, all of which happen to be mounted inside a flashy computer case complete with a clear window. Posted in Arduino Hacks, Robots Hacks Tagged 3d printed, python, robot arm, robotics, scara, stepper motorĪt first glance, you might think the piece of hardware pictured here is a modern gaming computer. This looks like something that you could reasonably assemble and program over a weekend or two, and then put to work in your ad-hoc PPE factory. We’ve seen some impressive 3D printed robotic arms over the years, but the simplicity of the PyBot is particularly compelling.
As the name implies, the PyBot is controlled by Python tools running on the computer, so it should be relatively easy to get this capable arm to do your bidding. But if you wanted to build your own version from the parts bin, you could certainly wire up all the principle components manually. In the base of the arm is a custom control board that combines an Arduino M0, an ESP8266, and a trio of stepper motor drivers. By default it features a simple gripper, but that can easily be changed out for whatever tool or gadget you have in mind. But while that robot was designed to carry an extruder and act as a 3D printer, intends for the PyBot to be more of a general purpose platform.
Those who’ve researched similar projects might notice that the design of this arm has clearly been influenced by the Mostly Printed SCARA (MPSCARA). A custom control board keeps the wiring tight. Smooth rods, linear bearings, lead screws, and NEMA 17 motors are all exceptionally cheap these days thanks to the innumerable 3D printer kits that make use of them. One could argue that this is a project made entirely possible by desktop 3D printing as not only are most of the structural components printed, but most of the mechanical elements are common 3D printer parts. The PyBot designed by is an open source robotic arm that should be well within the means of the average hardware hacker. Unless of course, you’re willing to build it yourself. Unfortunately, while the prices for things like 3D printers and oscilloscopes have dropped lower than what many would have believed possible a decade ago, high-performance robotics are still too pricey for the home player. We’ve all seen videos of blisteringly fast SCARA arms working on assembly lines, and more than a few of us have fantasied about having that same kind of technology for the home shop.

Posted in Raspberry Pi Tagged portable computer, rugged raspberry pi, ruggedized It could also be a nice compartment to keep your RTL-SDR for some mobile radio work.įor those that don’t mind spending name-brand money and have access to a 3D printer, the Raspberry Pi Quick Kit by is another great way to get yourself a rough and tumble Pi without reinventing the wheel. We especially like the large open area that he’s kept around the Raspberry Pi’s ports that allow you to easily hook up to the network or plug in a flash drive.

Rounding out the build, found a cheap Android phone case that included a tiny USB keyboard which plugs right into the Pi and he’s looking to add a BlackBerry trackball to the setup down the line. As for the display, the nine inch LCD is perfectly sized to press fit into the lid. Of course if you have access to the appropriate tools, you could certainly cut the plate out of something stouter. The “carbon fiber” sticker he put on the PVC sheet won’t do much for the structural integrity of the build, but it sure looks nice.

Most of the effort involves cutting the PVC foam sheet that holds the Raspberry Pi, battery pack, and the driver board for the LCD in the bottom of the $15 USD case managed to track down on AliExpress. Short of just buying one of these rigs pre-built from somebody, it’s hard to imagine it could get much easier than this. You could even do it without soldering anything, if you really wanted to. You don’t need a CNC to cut out any face plates or a 3D printer to create an internal framework for all your components. Inspired by these builds but looking to make it even easier and cheaper to roll your own version, recently took the wraps off of what he calls the Militarish Pi.
Especially if you can avoid popping any holes in the side. It’s not hard to see why whether you spring for the Pelican case or get a cheaper alternative, these water-tight cases are far stronger than anything you’re going to 3D print or otherwise cobble together in the home shop. Over the last year we’ve seen a wave of portable computer builds that center around the Raspberry Pi taking up residence inside a commercial heavy-duty storage case.
