Piarm, Release 1.0

3.5.4 Hanging Clip - Remote Control

Create a new project and write code for it so that we can control the

Hanging Clip

while controlling the arm.

Step 1

Import [arm_control] library, if you have not created this library before, please refer to:

Create a Library

In the

Mylib

page, select the library you created and click

Import

After importing, this library is in a collapsed style. You can right-click on it and click

Expand Block

, so that you can

see its internal code.

Step 2

Go to the remote control page and drag a D-pad and two buttons out again, because the import library will not import
the widgets, so you need to drag them in again. Add two more buttons to control the angle of the Hanging Clip.

3.5. Remote Control
