It integrates hardware schematics and layouts for control boards and sensor arrays with firmware designed to render images and animations on integrated circular screens. The system features a control bridge that links the physical robot hardware to the Unity game engine for real-time visualization and high-level control. Data exchange between the host computer and the embedded hardware is handled via a custom USB CDC serial communication protocol. The project covers multi-joint servo coordination using closed-loop PID control and potentiometer ADC sampling. It also includes hardware manufacturing assets, such as Gerber files and 3D CAD models for electronic and mechanical assembly. ## Tags ### Part of an Awesome List - [Closed-Loop PID Servo Control](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/awesome-lists/devtools/motor-control/closed-loop-pid-servo-control.md) — Uses PID algorithms and potentiometer ADC sampling to ensure precise, closed-loop servo positioning.
