Devlog – Day 18

Date: August 9, 2026
Time Worked: 2 hours

Today I fixed the wiring issue from my previous session. After tracing through the circuit, I found that the connections were mixed up. Once I corrected the wiring, the servos started responding properly.

I then worked with the Bluepad32 library and wrote code that allows an Xbox controller’s joysticks and buttons to control the servos. I ran into several setup and communication issues, but I worked through them and completed the full controller code.

With the wiring fixed and the code completed, the project is now ready for the physical build once funding is approved.

Next Steps

• Order the required parts.
• Begin 3D printing the robotic arm components.
• Start assembling the arm.
