ME Auriga Robotic Arm


#1

Hello!

I want to build a Robotic arm similar to the one from Openlab

But I want to use the ME Auriga instead of the MegaPi.

So my question is: can the ME Auriga control 3 x 42BYG Stepper Motor and one Mini Gripper together?
Or is this too much for the Auriga?
I am planing to use the 12V 3A Wall Adapter.

I am hoping for advice.

Hi Walter,

Theoretically, Auriga board is able to support three stepper motors and one mini Gripper.
This is also has relationship with how many other loads on the Auriga and the power.
Besides, it may affect the lifetime of the Auriga board in such application.But MegaPi shouldn’t have such issue, that’s why it uses MegaPi. Anyway, you can try it.

Hi tec_support!

I will not try this with the Auriga.
I will follow your advice, and just have ordered a MegaPi.

Thank you very much for you advice!
