# RoboRot

Firmware for a DIY robotic arm with 6 axis (degrees of freedom)

driven by a Arduino Due (or any other Arduino based board) 

using TB6600 Stepper Motor Drivers. 

Build and flash it on the microcontroller. It communicates via (USB) serial 

port and will accept G-Code commands sent by the terminal.

## Pre-Requisites

- JetBrains CLion https://www.jetbrains.com/clion/ or another C/C++ IDE

  - install Plugin: PlatformIO

  - install Plugin: SerialMonitor

- PlatformIO https://platformio.org/install

- AccelStepper Library: https://www.airspayce.com/mikem/arduino/AccelStepper/  

  (is linked via [platform.ini](platformio.ini))

## BOM

- Arduino Due https://store.arduino.cc/en-at/products/arduino-due

- TB6600 Stepper Motor Driver https://www.makerguides.com/tb6600-stepper-motor-driver-arduino-tutorial/

## 3D-Printed Parts

This is our prototype:

## Usage

### Firmware run on the hardware for the robotic arm

- **Build** the firmware: ```pio run```  

  (or in CLION: Pio Plus Tasks --> Tasks/General/Build)

- **Upload** the firmware: ```pio run --target upload```  

  (or in CLION: Pio Plus Tasks --> Tasks/General/Upload)

- Open the Serial-Monitor and enter your G-Code commands, see [doc/GCODE.md](doc/GCODE.md)

### Automated Tasks/Tests (CI/CD)

- Run the **Unit Tests**: ```pio test```  

  (or in CLION: Pio Plus Tasks --> Tasks/Advanced/Test)
