The graphical interface shows multiple views of the arm which can be controlled via drag and drop, as well as by manually inputting coordinates. The full-featured built-in sequencer allows you create sequences which have the arm move automatically from one position ("frame") to the next.

Associating each pattern with input keys means you can easily play back and test multiple sequences. 12 12 13 13 FlowBotics Studio was used to create this app and includes hundreds of built-in components that allow you to interface your PC to many standard computer peripherals and robotics components, and you can quickly design new components for new hardware. Easily create new projects with custom GUI screens, knobs, buttons, switches, etc. that will run live from within FlowBotics Studio without needing to wait for compilation, or export as stand-alone executable files. FlowBotics Studio includes a powerful graphics engine that allows you to make custom graphical objects by using standard bitmaps or by drawing your own shapes on the screen. Using this system, you can build entirely custom interfaces like this one for your projects and integrate photographs, drawings, and graphs. 14 14 15 15 = Features = 16 16 17 -* Graphical interface for the Lynxmotion SES V2 3DoFand4DoFrobot arms17 +* Graphical interface for the Lynxmotion SES V2 articulated robot arm 18 18 * Full featured sequencer allows recording and playback of many sequences via keyboard input 19 19 * Teach mode allows the user to move the arm and have the virtual arm follow 20 20 * Position the arm using rectangular or cylindrical coordinates, virtual joysticks or mouse drag 21 21 * Application can be modified via FlowBotics Studio 22 22 * Optional data log shows what commands are sent and received and can be saved as a .csv file. 23 -* LSS FlowArm is intended only for theWindows7operating system23 +* LSS FlowArm is intended only for Windows operating systems 7 or higher. 24 24 25 25 = Initial Setup = 26 26 27 -In order to understand the features, functionality and nuances of the Lynxmotion smart servos, it is suggested to read through the [[doc:lynxmotion-smart-servo.WebHome]] section of the wiki.
