## Advice ahead of time

If you are considering buying this kit, I suggest looking at the more capable and simpler MeArm kit. The MeArm is simpler to build, has servo motors for better control (less gear slop, and positioning instead of dead reckoning), and also simpler to power (D-Cells are not that widely available). This arm does have an additional DOF with the wrist bending.

If you already have this kit, then I hope you find this library and it's information useful.
