Reference code for the Robot Arm GUI.

You can look at this GUIDE GUI by opening the .fig file in GUIDE.
Or you can just type

> guide DhArm

and that'll open GUIDE for this GUI.

Your task is to get your in-class GUI up to this level then add serial communication. You need to make sure to use the com port box and open a serial connection. Then move the joints and gripper as they move. Really that's just three things you need to add.

  • Open a serial connection to the robot.
  • If connected send gripper commands.
  • If connected send position commands.

    • _Note that your program shouldn't crash if you click a movement control and you aren't connected. It should just display a message to the console instead of crashing._
