It is usually programmed to execute particular functions. In this a research project, we are studying the connection of the robotic arm via the Wii Nunchuk to control the moves of the robotic arm with Arduino (UNO). The goal of this project is to control the four directions (left, right, up & down) and open - close the hands of the robotic arm by using two buttons (C&Z). Key words: Wii Nunchuk, robotic arm, Arduino Cite this Article: Intisar Mohsin Saadoon, Israa M.Abdal Ameer Al-Khafaji, Khalida Ali Ahmed, Programming Servo Motors of Robot Arm to Controlled Directions via Wii Nunchuk Joystick, International Journal of Civil Engineering and Technology (IJCIET) 9(11), 2018, pp. 1041 1047. http://www.iaeme.com/ijciet/issues.asp?jtype=ijciet&vtype=9&itype=11 1. INTRODUCTION The robotic arm is made up of four metal segments, joined by three knuckles. The Wii Nunchuk controls the robotic arm by rotating individual servo motors connected to each joint to move the robotic arm very precisely. http://www.iaeme.com/ijciet/index.asp 1041 editor@iaeme.com

Intisar Mohsin Saadoon, Israa M.Abdal Ameer Al-Khafaji, Khalida Ali Ahmed The mains objective of this project was to control the robotic arm to move the four directions, open and close the hands of the robotic arm by using Wii Nunchuk with Arduino UNO. 2. ARDUINO UNO The Arduino is open-source have ARM processor, can be configured by using the software in a development environment, used to collect and analyze the data to use it in real-time or stored for future analyze. 3. WII NUNCHUK The Nunchuk uses I2C as a transportation protocol. It has a two-axis joystick, two buttons (C&Z) and accelerometer sensible movements to all three dimensions. http://www.iaeme.com/ijciet/index.asp 1042 editor@iaeme.com

Programming Servo Motors of Robot Arm to Controlled Directions via Wii Nunchuk Joystick 3.1. Wii Nunchuk Interface The Wii Nunchuk connect with six pins as follows: The frequency used to communicate with the Wii Nunchuk is100khz. 3.2. Wii Nunchuk Output The Wii Nunchuk is a slave I2C bus device as a transportation protocol that outputs six bytes of data as follows: 4. SERVO MOTOR The internal servo motor of a "mostly controlled" control circuit. When the engine gives pulses at a certain time constant, the motor rotates to the angle according to this time constant. In each type, the amount of fixed time varies from engine to engine depending on the manufacturer and technical bulletin that comes with the servo motor. http://www.iaeme.com/ijciet/index.asp 1043 editor@iaeme.com
