Overview
Need a free hand to hold onto all those techy bits and pieces? Then the Braccio Bundle is perfect for you! With the Arduino Uno-controlled Braccio robotic arm, you can unlock the unlimited possibilities of robotics or simply use it to take the perfect selfie.
- 1 x TinkerKit Braccio Robot - Designed for versatility, the Braccio can be assembled in a multitude of ways to enable it to support various objects on the end of the arm. With the ability to hold items weighing up to 400g and a gripper width of 90mm, the Braccio robotic arm can grasp whatever you need either perfectly still or whilst rotating 180 degrees. Includes a Braccio shield to allow you to hook up the servos directly to your Arduino board.
- 1 x Arduino UNO - The Arduino Uno is the ideal board for getting started with electronics and coding. The most used and documented board in the world, you'll find lots of ideas in the Arduino Project Hub to see how you can 'Get to Grips' with your new Braccio robotic arm.

When you want to paint the walls in your bedroom that very specific shade of Misty Irish Green, all you have to do is head to your local hardware store and have them scan the corresponding card. The paint-mixing machine will then add the pigment to a white base and, a few minutes later, you have that exact color. So, shouldn’t you be able to do the same thing with acrylic paint for hobby purposes? Now you can, thanks to the “Color By Code” machine designed by Caltech students Frida Moreno and Asmat Kaur Taunque. Moreno and Taunque built Color By Code for a class project and it is, essentially, a hobby version of those hardware store paint-mixers intended for acrylic paint. As is the standard across many industries that deal with pigments, paint, and printing, this works using CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, key) color mixing. Here, the key is black and the machine takes an input color value for each component, then dispenses the paint in those ratios to achieve the desired hue. That all happens under the control of an Arduino Nano Every board. That operates peristaltic pumps, via L298N motor drivers, that dispense each color. Afterwards, a flushing procedure clears the lines before the next mix. The pumps fit into a 3D-printed stand, with the hoses dropping below to a waiting container. At this time, the user must set the color values through serial commands. But the team hopes to create a Bluetooth app in the future. They also plan to add a weight sensor, which would improve the machine’s accuracy.
