MinArm is perfect for beginners to easily develop and program their robotic arm.
Arduino Programming, Open Source
MinArm It is built on the Atmega328 platform and is compatible with Arduino programming. With open-source programs, detailed tutorials, and secondary development examples, MinArm is perfect for beginners to easily develop and program their robotic arm.
High-performance hardware, supports sensor expansion
MinArm is equipped with a 6-channel button controller, a Bluetooth module, high-precision digital servos, and other hardware. In addition, it provides several expansion ports for integrating sensors, including an ESP32 camera, accelerometer, touch sensor, ultrasonic light sensor, etc., allowing users to engage in secondary development for sound range and pose control capabilities.
Control options
MinArm supports application control, and users can use knob potentiometers for real-time button control and offline action editing.
Arduino compatibility
Compatible with Arduino hardware interfaces and Arduino IDE, Hiwonder MinArm provides open source code with detailed comments for secondary development.
Dynamic control with button
Quickly control the movements of the robotic arm joints using the knob potentiometer, immersing yourself in the transparent operation of the robotic arm.
APP Control
Take command of MinArm effortlessly via the application, allowing you to perform desired actions with a simple press of a button or a swipe of the cursor.
Offline motion editing
Quickly record the robotic arm's movements using the potentiometer and buttons. This feature allows for offline editing and analysis of the movements.

Anti-lock servo
Hiwonder MinArm is equipped with a built-in stall protection algorithm, ensuring that the servo will not burn out due to a blockage or collision, which greatly extends its lifespan.
AI Vision Support Module
MinArm can be expanded with the ESP32Cam module to unlock a wider range of creative vision applications.
Integrated Bluetooth module
The MinArm expansion board includes a Bluetooth interface for integration with the Bluetooth module. This feature will be useful for your project development.
Limitless creativity
Expand MinArm's capabilities with a variety of sensors and unlock endless possibilities for your project.
Ultrasonic module
Users can position obstacles in front of the miniArm's ultrasonic light module, then move the obstacle towards the miniArm. The Arduino robot arm will react differently, and its RGB light will change depending on the distance to the obstacle.
Installation check
The programmable robot miniArm uses an acceleration sensor to detect pose, which in turn regulates the gripping and placement actions of the robotic arm.
Grab the sonic ball
When the miniArm's ultrasonic light module detects an object, the buzzer on the expansion board emits a sound and the RGB light turns green. At this point, the user can place a ball in the center of the robotic arm, prompting the robot to grasp the ball and initiate a leftward rotation to release it.
Touch the input
Users can activate the miniArm, turn it on, and begin controlling it by touching the metal plate of the touch sensor. Touch the robotic arm to pick up the block, then touch it again to place the block. Simultaneously, you can also control the RGB light's color change.
