Control a Lynxmotion AL5* series Robot Arm with a master-slave system

#Introduction This is currently a WIP, pre-Aplha project to control a Lynxmotion AL5D Robot Arm with potentiometers. This is specific to the SSC-32U microcontroller but other microcontrollers may work and support for them is coming in the future (hopefully).

Getting Started

  1. Install Node.js and serialPort
  2. Connect microcontroller to computer through USB
  3. Open a terminal in the directory and run node index.js
  4. There is now a connection that runs like so

Node runtime(index.js) <-> SerialPort <-> Micro-controller(SSC-32U)

Please be sure to look at the code to modify the potentiometer/servo setting to match those of your project.
