Question 1: Can I teach AC3 by directly moving the joints with my hands?

Question 2: Can AC3 save the program to the Teensy 3.5 SD to work offline?

with the size and planetary gear boxes and drive screw moving the joints by hand is not possible. I do not yet have capability written to work offline as the PC program does all the kinematic calculations but that is one of the things im working on. thank you.

Thank you for your answer.

Is it possible to use a simple robot whose joint is an encoder as a teach pendant for AC3?

Hopefully, AC3 will work independently from PC in the future.

Its not really setup for encoder feedback for joint manual movement to teach positions - its geared more toward similarity with industrial robots. I will definitely be working on independent PC functionality as well as many other updates as well. thank you.
