Hi,
I’m new here!
I would like to build a 4dof T-HEX and since I have several servos I was planning to purchase all other remaining parts.
From the website and the tutorials I cannot understand if:
-spacers and screws for the electronic boards are provided or I have to purchase them ??
-screws for installing the servos to the legs are provided ??
-battery cables are included in the SSC-32 board ??
-in general, beside the parts listed in the “includes” list in the THEX page, battery, charger, usb-to serial cable and ps2 controller, is anything else needed to build that robot ?
I would like to place an order before the sale ends…so if anybody can provide me some details, I will appreciate.
Probably one of the Lynxmotion people can answer this better than I can, but they often use Fridays for projects, manufacturing… So if it were me, I would order, the things that are shown as part of this kit:
Minus what servos you already have.
The Body kit says:
So I would assume that it has them. Also they usually include more screws than are necessary, but I have in the past bought a few extra sets of screws as well as some different packs of extensions, as they do come in handy when you are trying out other things.
As the 4-DOF page mentions, you may want to purchase a wiring harness (lynxmotion.com/p-602-60-12vd … arger.aspx . Others use LIPO batteries as they have more capacity and the like, but that requires other stuff to get the voltages correct and LIPO batteries can be unsafe if not done properly…
If you don’t have a standard Serial port on your computer, you will need an adapter. THere are many adapters out there, but many of them don’t work well. So if you need one, the Lynxmotion one works: lynxmotion.com/p-699-usb-to- … cable.aspx
I think that should get you pretty close. You may need a few pieces of scrap wire to connect up the logic power between the SSC-32 and the Bot Board.
Yeah we try to keep things simple. Generally three leg kits and a chassis kit are the same as whats in the combo kit. The chassis has the PC board standoffs and a battery power cable with power switch.
