Failure, Recalibration & Iteration

My project is making a light painting with a robot arm . This week went well and I got a lot of stuff working, but some things need improvement. First I finished making the end effector for the robot arm, along with 2 different sized lights to put on the end of it.

Then after writing the program to control the arm and move in a pattern I attached the end effector to arm tested it out in a light painting. Below is a still picture of the arm and below that the light painting is shown.

 

Overall the painting turned out very nice, however there are some improvements I need to make. I need to cover orange and red status lights on the ABB arm and the esp32, roll down the shades for the window in the background, and better center the frame. Otherwise I am happy with the progress so far.
