• This paper describes the equipment and procedures used to modify a toy robot arm such that it can be interfaced with a computer (IBM PC or compatible). This particular mechanical arm has six degrees of freedom, but only two of the six degrees are controlled in this experiment. The motion of the arm is transmitted by plastic gears which are attached to stepper motors. These motors are interfaced with the computer where the movement of the robot arm is controlled by using the computer keyboard to input the angle and direction of motion.
