 ===== Piktul Manipulator =====
 ------------------------------
+The //piktul// manipulator is a small RC servo controlled SCARA-type manipulator.  As a planar manipulator design with additional height control, it operates in $SE(2) \times \mathbb{R}^+$.  The manipulator is good for introducing fundamental concepts in a simpler end-effector space, one that actually can be represented in vector form with little problems given the actuator limits of the servos used. //The current piktuls are configured to use the Lynxmotion SSC-32 controllers.//

 ===== Lynx6 =====
 -----------------
-The slightly more fully functional manipulator to be used in the course is called the **Lynx 6** manipulator made by [[http://www.lynxmotion.com | Lynxmotion]].  We have different versions, from the earliest Lexan one, up to the more recent aluminum ones. Eventually we'll probably design a better one, but for now, this is it.

Eventually we'll probably design a better one, but for now, this is it. We also have different interfacing schemes for the manipulator, based on the connected microcontroller and the language. //The current version to use is the Arduino Control Box. See the Resolving Issues page below if you have trouble with it, or to avoid having trouble with it.//

+-----------------
+A new microcontroller interface has been designed for use with this course.  Instructions on how to use it can be found here.
