Improve this question

I want to improve my programing skills and I thought that to start using physical programing(if that's even a thing) could possible be a great way to do improve it. But I don't know where to start.

I want to be able to build and control a robotic arm. and program it to do specifc task, my ultimate goal is to make it paint something.

Where can I start? Should I build my own robotic arm or it's too hard for a newb and I should buy one insted?

Answer 1

I would certainly look in to Arduino for this before going with Python. You can get parts for the arm at a variety of online retailers (adafruit and sparkfun are good). You can find numerous books on Arduino at your local bookstore or Amazon.
