Today we make a leap back in time, to present you an incredible experiment made in 1985-86 by Massimo Guidarelli (called Magù). Massimo is a former professor now retired and, with his students of the Professional Institute for Electromechanics, he created a mechanical arm commanded by the C64!
The experiment dates back to the 1985-1986 school year. It is a mechanical arm made entirely by hand, with Lima and drill, and controlled through a cable connected to the USER port of the Commodore 64.
Here are the incredible results that this experiment has obtained! Although kids today use technologies like Arduino and Raspberry for their designs, it's interesting to see how the Commodore 64 was used just as innovatively at the time.
Congratulations to Magù and its students, for making this mechanical arm commanded by the C64! It is such an interesting and stimulating experiment for the creativity of the boys.
