Hardware:
Arduino sends rotation values from each potentiometer to the PC via USB serial connection.

Software:
a) Custom USB serial driver to read serial text from the Arduino written in VB6 (Visual Basic 6). Show rotation values in realtime.
b) Blitz3D used to show realtime visualisation of arm and digitised points.
c) Custom 3D tool for viewing the output 3D point cloud. Features - rotation, move and zoom. Can view full colour 3D point clouds in RGBXYZ or XYZ formats.
d) Arduino reads the four potentiometer values and sends them to the USB serial.
