Abstract
In this paper we shall show a method how to command a Lynxmotion AL5 type robotic arm. The robotic arm has 5 servomotors and can be extended with an extra servo motor to rotate the gripper. The robotic arm has an SSC-32 control board, which can control all the motors. The control board has an ATmega168 microcontroller which commanded on RS-232 interface with a PC will control the motors. The microcontroller can receive specific SCPI commands which can be interpreted and can control the motors this way moving the robotic arm.
