PUMA 260A Robot Arm Video

Some long overdue video footage of the PUMA's first post-repair moves:


It's being run quite slowly in the video out of cautiousness. Once I had more confidence in the controller, I bumped it up to higher speeds. Currently the serial connection is getting spotty again. I suspect the card edge connector corrosion is still continuing despite removing the battery acid crystals. I'll definitely be replacing the controller with some custom hardware, so check back for more updates in the near future!
