Quickstart tutorials

Start with Move your first arm to see the motion service drive an arm end-to-end. Then do Configure a frame system to see how Viam ties arms, grippers, and cameras into one coordinate tree. Everything else in this section builds on that tree.

Both quickstarts run on fake components, so you can do them on any laptop without hardware. When you swap in a real arm or camera later, the machine configuration changes; your code stays the same.
