From Fusion 360 to a ROS 2 Digital Twin: URDF, RViz and Gazebo That Match the Real Arm (OmArm One Part 2)

The real 3D printed OmArm One robot arm on a workbench beside the same arm rendered in RViz, both in the same pose

Export a URDF from Fusion 360, audit it, correct joint directions, zeros and limits so the model matches the real OmArm One, and run it in RViz and Gazebo Harmonic. Part 2 of the OmArm One series, with the free ROS 2 Jazzy package.

Drive a 3D Printed Robot Arm with a PS3 Controller: ESP32, Bluetooth, No PC (OmArm One Part 1.5)

A DualShock 3 controller held in one hand with the 3D printed OmArm One robot arm behind it holding an orange cube

Pair a PS3 controller to an ESP32 with Bluepad32 and drive a 3D printed 6-DOF robot arm: velocity sticks, four speed levels, a recorded pose sequence and a latching stop, with no PC in the loop.
