PAROL6
Based on published sources · Not tested by us ·
Overview
A printed desktop arm with a separate Commander application and a required PAROL6 control board. [S001]
PAROL6's robot repository contains printable parts, a BOM, assembly instructions and control-board firmware. Commander, its programming and control application, lives in a separate repository. Commander's README explicitly requires the PAROL6 control board; public STL and software files do not eliminate that hardware dependency. [S001] [S004] [S005]
Start with BOM/PAROL6 BOM.xlsx and the Building instructions in the pinned robot snapshot. Match that selection to the control board and Commander revision before buying parts. The current delivered cost, board availability and exact version compatibility have not been established here. [S001] [S002] [S004] [S005]
Commander documents Python 3.10.12, platform-specific installation guides and a working-dependency directory. Its built-in simulator and GUI are distinct from the separately linked Python API. The overview also warns that its experimental kinematics branch introduces potentially dangerous conditions; that branch is not the control configuration evaluated here. [S005]
Both inspected repositories declare GPL v3. That establishes the stated repository terms, not a complete manufacturing license or editable design pack for every purchased component. No assembly, startup, calibration or performance test was carried out. [S003] [S005]
