Supports Pedro on Kickstarter

Everything you need to bring the Pedro robot to life:

1. 4 Servomotors 360° SG90
2. Pedro board
3. Micro USB cable
4. 2 Batteries 3.7V 15000mA
5. 2 Ball bearings

Assemble the three planetary gear systems as shown, and verify the rotation of each.

1. Place the Pedro board on the base and connect it to the battery.
2. Ensure that the board powers on.
3. Insert the servomotor for the base rotation and connect it to pin D5 on the board.

Insert the second servomotor into the elbow piece and the third servomotor into the gripper piece. Then, connect the elbow and gripper using the link arm piece, as shown.

Attach the forearm to the upper arm by connecting the elbow joint to the shoulder piece as shown.

Mount the two planetary gear systems onto the elbow and shoulder servomotors. Then, attach the gear arm piece to complete the assembly as shown.

Attach the gear to the gripper servomotor, then position the two gripper pieces as indicated.

Secure the support base to the arm beneath the elbow piece with screws.

Complete the arm by covering the side with the servomotor cables, then secure the arm to the base with the four screws as shown.
