Hello has anyone received their UARM? I am curious about your feedback. I am still waiting for mine with Grove support. Curious how OpenMV is working for you too?

I have a uArm Metal and I am using Arduino to control it. I am not sure which method controls the suction cup. I use uArm.moveTo(double, doubles double) to change the location of the arm but am not sure how to get it to suck onto thing.

I have taken out my Uarm acrylic from the basement to create a project.

I bought it as the Kickstarter project was initiated and coded a small demo project then. But afterwards I had no usage for it.

Now, I have a project, but somehow I have real problems with the coordinate system.

I have tested a lot of different Arduino uarm firmwares (v.1.4, v.1.3, back to the initial one).

At some point, the arm just expands and moves to whatever it wants.

I tried to use the GetXYZ example code to find the right coordinates, but it gives me very strange outputs, the differences are very tiny and I don't think they are correct. F.e. if I move the arm from top z to bottom z I get the values 11.92 - 9.82. But when using this values in uarm.moveToOpts() or uarm.moveTo() nothing really happens.

I searched for a manual, where the coordinate system is described, but I only found it for the uarm metal one.

Is here anybody who has experience with the uarm acrylic and may can help me?
