Project 6: Add Memory Function
Project 6.1: Memorize One Posture
Description
In the previous section, use the analog value of pin X,Y of 2 Joystick modules to control the robot arm.
In the following experiment, we add a memory function for the robot arm, making it remember a posture then operate.
Set 4 variables for saving the angle value of 4 servos, use the Joystick to control a posture. Press the key Z1 of right Joystick to save the angle value of 4 servos; press the key Z2 of left Joystick to make the servo operate a posture saved in the variable.

Project 6.2: Memorize Several Postures
Description
In the previous section, we have set the angle of 4 servos to make the robot arm remember and operate a posture. To extend the experiment, next make it remember several postures, at most 10 (you can set it in the code), then make 4DOF robot arm continually operate the posture in memory.
That is, make robot arm memorize a group of actions, and you can set the memorizing speed in the code.

Powered on, press the key Z1 of right Joystick to save the angle value of 4 servos. Press down the key Z1 to memorize different postures, at most 10 postures in the code. If need to memorize more postures, you can set it in the code.
When memorizing successfully, press down the key Z2 of left Joystick to make the robot arm carry out several postures stored successively.
Project 6.3: Memorize Several Postures And Loop
Description
In the previous section, we have introduced how to make 4DOF robot arm to memorize and perform a group of posture. Furthermore, let’s extend one more loop function.
That is, when robot arm performs all the memorized actions, it will not stop, and continue to repeat those actions.
In the following experiment, press the key Z1, 4DOF robot arm will exit the looping action. Press the key Z1 again, start to memorize the posture, after that, press the key Z2 to loop the memorized actions.

Test Result
Wire it up, stack the shield onto Arduino, upload the code. Powered on, press the key Z1 of right Joystick to save the angle value of 4 servos. Press down the key Z1 to memorize different postures, at most 10 postures in the code. If need to memorize more postures, can set it in the code.
When memorizing successfully, press down the key Z2 of left Joystick to make the robot arm carry out several postures stored successively, looping.
Long press the key Z1, 4DOF robot arm will exit the looping action. Press the key Z1 again, start to memorize the posture, after that, press the key Z2 to loop the memorized actions.
