Add minimal xArm5 starter example for Raspberry Pi 5

[Copilot]

Provides a minimal starter example showing how to control the UFACTORY xArm5 robotic arm programmatically from Raspberry Pi 5.

File Added

• src/ac_training_lab/xarm5_minimal_example.py - Minimal script (39 lines) demonstrating basic xArm5 control

Example Usage

from xarm.wrapper import XArmAPI

# Connect to xArm5
arm = XArmAPI('192.168.1.100')

# Enable motion
arm.motion_enable(enable=True)
arm.set_mode(0)  # Position control mode
arm.set_state(0)  # Ready state

# Move to home position
arm.move_gohome(wait=True)

# Move to a position (x, y, z in mm, angles in degrees)
arm.set_position(x=300, y=0, z=200, roll=180, pitch=0, yaw=0, speed=100, wait=True)

# Disconnect
arm.disconnect()

Installation

pip install xarm-python-sdk

The script includes installation instructions and can be easily customized by changing the IP address configuration.

@copilot I don't really like any of these changes. I had actually assigned copilot on the wrong issue. I had meant to do this in the sub-issue about the minimal/starter example. Revert all your commits here to start over.

Max one new file. Should be a minimal script showing how we'd use the xarm5 programmatically in Python.

Reverted all changes and replaced with a single minimal starter example file: src/ac_training_lab/xarm5_minimal_example.py (40 lines).

The file shows basic programmatic control: connect → enable motion → move to position → disconnect.
