TL;DR:

https://github.com/marginallyclever/arm3

Updated the Java code to run better on devices with no mouse. Also makes the UI a lot more intuitive.

Work is already being done on the inverse Kinematics for 6 axies. If you can help with the singularities, please comment.

Also, on /r/robotics I saw this great list of 3D printable robot arms. You'll notice I didn't say a list of great arms. They come in three flavors: arms made with hobby servos (small and weak), copies of industrial arms (printable but not runable), and big-dream arms (nice idea, no working model). Still... good job doing the homework to collate a list.

Speaking of which, here's my playlist of robot arm videos on Youtube.

As always, if you can help with this project in any way please let me know. Even a tweet or a like means a lot.

This weekend I'm in St. Petersburg, Russia for GEEK PICNIC. When I get home I start on the next version of the hardware.
