Hi! I’m sorry for not beeing so active on this forum. For the time I’m working on a hexapod robot. The coxa design is highly inspirated by micromagicsystems. The hardware consists of SSC32, 18 servos and BlueSMIRF. The software on PC is Sequencer and a excel program that I ha…

It works fine just connecting them in parallel. Just make sure they both are equaly charged. But NEVER try that on a LiPo. Another solution for powering the logic is to connect the LiPo you are using for the servos directly to the VL. No need for the extra 9v battery. I’ve never…

Thanks zenta for the suggestion.

Oh my! I did just check the viewer counts of this thread and it has passed 100.000! :open_mouth: A new record on this forum? :wink:

Woot! (did I get that right?) I’d say there was some interest in your 'bot! Well done! Alan KM6VV

Zenta, how does the walking height affect the load on the servos?

Thanks for the response. I’m working on a “Phoenix hybrid”. 8) I noticed that most people have their phoenix walking low to the ground, the tibia joint being higher than the femur. I’m contemplating using a higher base position than is typical. I’m glad to hear that it will no…

Actually, if the legs are vertical rather then “splayed”, there is less load on the servos! Alan KM6VV

Good to know. I’m a software guy trying to learn the mechanical aspects. :slight_smile:

Hi, I’ve posted some stuff about the GP player in my T-Hex thread. But since I’m using my good old Phoenix for a little demo for the Lynxmotion forum I thought I should bring this old thread back to life again… :laughing: Here is a short workshop video where I demonstrate the G…

Hi,

The walking height does not affect the load on the servos as long as the tars(foot) has the same horisontal distance from the femur joint. Why are you asking?
