27I bought a USB robotic arm from a carboot for £3 but couldn't getting it working on a Windows machine. I found a Python library on Guthub (https://github.com/orionrobots/python_usb_robot_arm) and was able to then write a small program to use the arm.
At the time of writing, the program was just cobbled together so it won't work flawlessly but I intend to tidy it up as I prgrogress:

This video is a demo of the arm and program.
Huge thanks to Ahmed Bani, Vadim Zaliva and Onionrobots.
