Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You need to design a robotic arm with three joints, each controlled by a servo. How would you connect and control these servos using PWM, and what considerations would you have regarding the power supply and control signals?

💡 Hint: Think about how many power sources and microcontroller pins you would need.

Challenge 2 Hard

How would you program a series of movements for a robotic arm that picks and places objects? Outline the program logic and factors you need to consider for proper timing.

💡 Hint: Consider the types of delays needed for picking, moving, and placing.
