It has been a while since my last posting on this topic. In the meantime I made significant progress as you can see here:There is now a PCB with all necessary stuff on it which for example completely alleviates all I2C chip configuration problems I had in the past with my first wire-connected proto…
As I wrote in Chopstick Junior 1.0 (there you can see it in the robot) here comes the part with the Arduino Nano on a PCB.Why I did this?Well, it's just a try to use the Arduino Nano for other robots too. This gives me the chance to remove the MC and put it in another robot or just upgrade this one…
I definitely want to build a 6 legged Rhex robot. Below are some drafts I made today with Sketchup. 6 standard servos HS-325, a LiPo battery, two Sharp IR distance sensors and a tilt switch. 2011.2.14I thought about how to synchronize the legs of my Rhex robot. I want to use servos, no kind o…
