Overview

:


The Banshi Robotic Arm is an
affordable robot for the hobbyist. It is
ideally suited to learn the basics of
electronics, mechanics and
programming. The Banshi is controlled
by a powerful ATMEGA64
microcontroller that is programmable
via open source tools in C.

The robot comes with many example
programs already written. Easily
download them to the robot using the
supplied USB interface and the
RobotLoader software. Or write your
own custom programs using the free
open-source WinAVR software.

Control the robot using the included
keyboard or RACS software. Using the
software you can record the movements
of the Banshi and play them back.

The I/Os (in and outputs), together with
the flexible I

2

C bus system, allow the

addition of extra modules thus enabling
the robot to react to its environment.
