lmckeegaI added a tool arm that mimics the tool arm on the real Curiosity Rover. This video demonstrates the arm movement. The arm has 5 LX-16 servos and all parts are 3D printed.
The tool head has 5 tools
- Powder Acquisition Drill System
- Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS)
- Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI)
- Dust Removal Tool (DRT)
- Collection and Handling for In-situ Rock Analysis (CHIMRA)
I designed and printed each tool seperately, painted them, and assembled into a complete head. The head can be rotated to present each tool as needed.

That is incredible, what does the UI look like?
It is time to port the whole UI into an Android .APK now that you have reached this milestone.
