The kit was well packaged and complete. The parts were all Identified and all there. The robot arm uses the newer bus servo motors and this is great. You simply tell a motor the absolute location you want it to go and how long you want that motion to take, This helps synchronizing different motions so they can all get there at the same time. You could also issue a short vertical motion and a long fast horizontal motion to tailor the movement shape. The built in shaft encoder allows you to know exactly where you start and where you are going, without drift when you get there or apply a load. There is no need to calculate the PWM signal and know where precisely, and drift. This also allows completely closed control application. I am an English only speaker however; assembling the kit was fairly simple considering the complexity. There are good graphic video demonstrations of each step along with a running audio descriptions. All the parts fit well together and there were no extremely difficult assembly steps needed .The bus wiring made the electrical part of the assembly easy. steps. The included control board has a great amount of capability and can store several complex programs for stand alone operation or download programs from the computer. The software for running the robot on the computer is powerful and has English versions. Programming can be done on the computer with discrete commands, by learning from manual movement steps or a combination of both. The robot can also be controlled by the supplied wireless game style controller, a cell phone or a mouse. One problem developed after assembly, The manufacturer (LewanSoul) responded quickly sometimes on the same day until the obscure problem was resolved. The finished robot performs well as expected, movements were consistent and repeatable. Ray Rew Review: Surprisingly well designed and performant - Opening up the box, all the parts were neatly packaged and undamaged. The quality of the anodization on the metal parts was surprisingly good and I liked how there was decent organization of screws and other small parts into separate bags. Assembly was pretty quick and straightforward (took a bit to get to the instructions) with no issues of fitment so QC seems to be good as well. Came with spares of most things and love the serial bus interface of all the servos, will probably switch to them for a lot of my future projects. One caveat is the included screwdriver isn't that useful since you'll need a smaller one for all the screws on the servos themselves and the cable management is a bit finicky (but way better than not having any cable management at all). After getting the arm assembled, it was pretty easy to set up with the software and get the included controller set up (which is one of the better ways to control any multi-axis robot). Overall, this is a pretty good product and can recommend if you want to get started on robotics / want to play around with a robot arm. They're still regular servo motors so the payload can't be too high but reasonable given the size (and price) of it. ## Features - Spark Your Creativity with Robotic Arm: Hiwonder-xArm1S is a high-quality desktop robot arm capable of remote-control grasping, object transportation, custom actions, graphical programming, and more.

The software provided is intended for arduino. **Q: Does the arm enable simultaneous control of multiple/individual servos via position + velocity commands over serial (ie. rpi3, arduino)? Documention?** A: As far as I no the power supply will only allow 1 servo activation at a time. I think the engineer who designed this arm could upgrade necessary components to allow simultaneous control of servos. At what cost is anyone's guess, but I would like to see search an offer. **Q: is it possibe to create my own app and control it using that ?** A: Yes. They give you mapping for the serial on their board or you can get your own servo board for pretty cheap. **Q: What other items do i need to buy to make it work? thanks** A: You don't need other items else, it can work without other items, just purchase it, following instruction video to assemble it, then it will work. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well assembly is fully explained with graphics and a tutor works for English speaker *by R***W on July 19, 2019* I bought this with some reluctance having assembled kits from China before, but the specifications, capabilities, and features for the price made me want to try it anyway.

I purchased a Hiwonder xArm 1S as a potential project for a STEM Robotics course. The purchase was recent. While I've assembled the robot and tested it using the PC program, I can.t address long-term durability beyond observations I've made so far. First the good. Everything works. Construction is solid. There are a couple of injection molded parts, but the rest are anodized aluminum. Fit and finish are generally good. A couple of parts weren't bent to a full 90deg, but I coerced them sufficiently to work. The servos are quite energetic. They are capable of tilting the base off the surface it's sitting on. I don't know if the suction cups would prevent that (update: they don't). I don't have a surface I could test it with. I will probably mount the arm directly to a board, anyway. The servos, by the way, provide feedback for closed loop control. Hardware-wise, I'd give it 5 stars. Now the bad. The printed instructions are insufficient for assembling the robot. The poor image quality hides important details. None of the steps involving servos identify which servo to use even though they are numbered and installing the correct one in the correct place is critical. The video is only marginally better. Be prepared to pause frequently. The holes for attaching the gripper were ever so slightly off requiring the screws to be threaded through. Threading on the associated nuts in a very tight space was a challenge. It gets worse. If you want a toy, then you're golden. You can use the provided game controller, the available PC app, or the available phone apps to operate the arm. If, however you want to do something more advanced, be prepared to spend considerable time searching through the internet to find sufficient details to do it. What documentation Hiwonder does provide isn't sufficient. Their "tutorials," other than the one for assembly, focus one their canned control methods. Their support for Arduino (and Arduino clones) consists of making serial interface pins available and a sparsely documented set of commands. Hiwonder could really carve out a solid niche if they made some changes. Hardware-wise, add some stamped references where specific part relationships are important. Switch to hex or Torx screws. Consider threading parts where fitting in a nut is tight. On the software side, go all in on open source. Nothing encourages a community like working examples and access to good info and a decent API. Finally, invest in sufficient quality documentation. The hardware holds much promise, but it's held back by a half-hearted attempt to provide meaningful support of the soft side of the system. I'll battle on trying to get the arm to do something interesting. That said, I'm disappointed. I wanted to like this more. Hiwonder let me down. ## Frequently Bought Together - Robotic Arm for Arduino Coding Programming 6DOF Hiwonder-xArm1S STEM Educational Building Robot Arm Kits, 6 AXIS Full Metal Robotic Arm Wireless Controller/PC/App/Mouse Control Learning Robot - LewanSoul Mecanum Robot Chassis Car Kit with 360° Omnidirectional Wheel, Aluminum Alloy Frame, TT Motor, 66mm Omnidirectional Wheels, Robotic Moving Platform Robot Car DIY Kit (Unassembled) - USB to Audio Adapter External Stereo Sound Card Converter with 8Ω 5W Speaker for Raspberry Pi/Jetson Nano, Win7/8/8.1/10,Mac,Linux,Android, USB 2.0 Port Driver-Free, Plug and Play --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/57730248-robotic-arm-for-arduino-coding-programming-6dof-hiwonder-xarm1s-stem](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/57730248-robotic-arm-for-arduino-coding-programming-6dof-hiwonder-xarm1s-stem) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
