Controlling PincherX with Leap Motion

[EpicZa]

I posted a few months ago asking for help with this. I got it to work a few months ago after a lot of toying around, it's been gathering dust, but I thought you would like to see it in action.

I initially got it to work with the supplied code for the arbotix-m board, unfortunately it ran rather slowly, I believe it was 30Hz, not fast enough for the data being sent from the Leap Motion. I coded everything up myself for use with the USB dynamixel, the improvements were great, see below:

I like it! Never had a chance to play around with a Leap Motion device but it sure looks like it tracks very well

Yea, it's sub millimetre, for the likes of this it works well, but once you start getting down into details you run into a few problems.
