Robot arm

Robot arm
Figure 1:
Like the Rover, the Lander is also made of materials stored in my cellar. It should be no problem for you to copy the mechanics. The robot arm is actuated by three servos.
Host computer
Figure 2:
An old Laptop with a 333MHz CPU, 256MB of RAM and a 4GB hard disc serves as the hostcomputer of the Lander. The Linux distribution Knoppix in version 6.2 is running on the Laptop.

Control software

The software of the Rover has been customized to meet the specifications of the Lander. The scripts "lander-server.perl", "watchdog-lander-server.perl" and "lander-status.pl" are installed at the Internet server, the scripts "lander-client.perl", "watchdog-lander-client.perl" and "lander-client-commands.perl" at the laptop of the Lander. The file "main.hex" is stored at the memory of the microcontroller.
The source code of the software is available as Download.
