R680 Banshi Robotic Arm
Global Specialties introduces their Banshi robotic arm. The R680 is an affordable robot for educators and
hobbyists. 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 that can be downloaded to the robot using the
supplied USB interface and the RobotLoader software. Or,
users can write their own custom programs using the free
open source WinAVR software. The robot arm can be
controlled using the included keyboard or RACS software.
Using the software, movements of the Banshi can be
recorded and played back.
The I/Os (inputs and outputs) — together with the
flexible I2C bus system — allow the addition of extra
modules, thus enabling the robot to react to its
environment. The Banshi Robot features:
• Six degrees of freedom
• ATmega64 processor
• Complete 72 page manual
• USB interface
• Various available
I/Os
• I2C bus
• Downloadable
programs with
the included
RobotLoader
software
• Easy control with keyboard or RACS software
• Plastic arm and metal chassis
• 12V power supply
The Banshi comes unassembled as a kit. Assembly tools
are included. The Banshi robotic arm lists at $199.
