Hey, guys. I had a bit of inspiration a few days ago about making a tiny 4-servo biped out of microservos. The main reason is to kick-start my way into the world of dynamicly balancing gaits in an easier fashion. I’ll be debouncing 8 momentary pushbuttons on the bottoms of thi…

I’ve had a ball with the BRAT. It’s really amazing what can be done with just 6 DOF. I think a natural progression would be to add 2 more DOF to see what can be done then. I think it would open up another completely different set of possibilities. Actually, I’d guess that the 8 …

I’ve no doubt that I’ll eventually learn more from the full humanoid about balancing than I can ever learn with this little bugger. But, the sheer volume and variety of what I’d need to understand is a bit daunting. This little guy should get me kickstarted in the right directi…

Yeah, start with a BRAT. :smiley: Then add more DOF’s as you work. Think of all the other BRAT builders who will be praising your name Nick. hehehe The switch / foot PC board is a good idea. I want to have a PC board made with the switches and even LEDs, that can either replace…

Here’s the thread about them thar micro servos: lynxmotion.net/viewtopic.php?t=9 … cro+servos

I’ve been thinking about this quite a bit and I think it’s the way to go for me to start looking at balance in humanoids. The configuration that seems to make the most sense to me is to add another servo just above the foot with the same SES components that are on the similarly …

This looks really interesting too. Any chance that it’s moved off the drawing board yet? :slight_smile: Thanks, Harry No sorry, I have my PCB engineer working on our new Dual H-Bridge, and he will not be able to work on other things untill it’s completed.

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease tell me that it will be at least 5A!!! It must be! (and cheap, please!) theChipmunk

Heh heh, I just got my first issues of Robot, SERVO, and Nuts and Volts this week. :smiley: I am in information heaven right now!

Better add a place in the bottom of each foot to hold a couple of 2 cell LiPOs that can be joined in parallel and regulated for servo power.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, Harry
