as u can see on the homapage from lynxmotion, the software and the hardware (to control the arm) has added some "inputs". there can u add a switch for example, the arm can press the switch, to control the function, or make something other, to control the function. the inputs are analog, u can also add a distance control, or whatever u want... to control the arm.(yesterday i buyed a lynx6, now i m waiting for the packet . :-)

There comes a servo controller with it. We only have to say 'go there' and the controller does the rest for us.We haven't done a test for long time use, but we will soon. I will post a summary of the results. We are busy with this for a half year now, 20 hours a week, and we haven't got much problems with that issue. We can see it is a bit out of position, but that is not a problem for us. We changed the other hardware so it can handle a few position changes.

Do you know how it keeps track of itself? Like does it count the pulses it outputs or something? Because I was thinking of buying one for a project but I need to make sure it stays accurate even after a lot of movement.

sorry for the bad english;)

you mean like putting the arm manualy in position and then reading the current from the arm to the computer? no there isn't... We had te experiment untill we got the right positions.

Is there any way of getting position feedback on that arm?

this video is very slow. We made the robot faster. this was only still testing...
