Many people asked me to post a video showing an arm from inverse kinematics article in action. While making a video, I realized that shots of the arm following a pattern of computer-generated coordinates is going to be less than exciting and decided to add manual control. The video below shows the result. In addition to the video, a HID introductory page has been written describing HID communication basics as well as some simple Arduino code. Enjoy! ( Youtube link, where HD quality video can be selected ).
Arduino sketch written for this video is on gitHub.

God Bless.
i must appreciate ur work. arm design is perfect.use of usb wid arduino peripheral really catches my attention. clapping from my side for this dedicated work.
making an arm with arduino and usb mouse is very complex but u have done it.
thanks for your creativity..
have done the 30 degree up when assembling the arm for elbow as given inn lynxmotion assembly guide ?
that was brilliant work……i am just a beginner can u please send me the schematic along with the components needed to make this arm……please
