coxa close up
i’m working on leg this day
Pictures are taken with a webcam. better than HP camera;)
little progress about leg.
I need servo to continue 
Looks like you’ve made a few more parts!
Nice work! I can appreciate all the effort that goes into making parts.

Hi alan,
it’s a great and funny project. many many hours in fact 
I’m waiting for servos. I have ordering servos,screws, switch, cable clamp, to finish the leg and body
Coxa are mounted.
I made an abdomen molding test but I failed
to be continued…
Yeah, great fun!
I’ve just spent the weekend making parts for what I’m calling the ASB-13 'bot. Drilled a plexiglas deck, and drilled the remaining three servo horn hole patterns in an ASB-13 bracket. I also bent up a pair of caster brackets, although one got bent a little short…

Hi,
Servos and other things are in backorder 
1st of March apparently
So, i’m working on the DIY Remote control
first test is done.
i’ve added baud rate configuration as menu and converted sparkfun code to allow communication with bap at 19200 baud
I’ve just received “Utilplast” to mold abdomen part.
minor update on the remote control.
Escape or Enter Key are used for this menu to cancel or confirm
I’m learning BAP Basic on this code.

UserSelectBaud[bNewBaud]:Good Looking Remote… 
Can’t wait to get my hands on mine.
Keep the good work, your one talented person.
(sorry for bad english… again)
Hi,
thanks a lot for your comment.
you make a wonderful work on Solidwork
I’m looking forward to see yours
I need to add a low level battery indicator. Here is schematic and diagram of the new menu of the RC
Looks like you are making lots of progress!
As for low voltage. If you still have an Analog pin available, you can use a simple voltage divider like what is already on the Atom Bot Board 2 on pin 16 and 17). You can see this near the center of the bottom on the schematic: lynxmotion.com/images/data/bb2sch.pdf

thanks a lot Kurt,
I had some trouble about xbee configuration but now all is ok.
you make a fantastic work on the RC code and others.
i’m looking for this over the web and on lynxmotion for lipo+ botboard at this moment
I see it,
thanks
Great work! Looking very good, looking forward to see it in action. 
Hi
What did you use as Gimbals ?
What is de dimension of mounting hole and dimension of the big hole ?
Tanks…
Hi Zenta,
I’ve just finish to test my arm with the remote.
gimbals===> an old graupner JR
dimension:47mm
little update for the DIY RC.
I post it here but it’s for the thread of Kurt
I must to add on the remote the possibility of choice of display(Percent or Voltage). Function will be modified to send only value.
it’s an extended feature of a simple low level battery indicator for the battery of the remote.
TODO:A special byte of selection is possible or manually choice.

Interesting, thanks for sharing your code!
Including the voltage or % value in the text was also a good way to do it. Personally I prefer to get the other text information (like what mode we are in) combined with a simple voltage indicator to the right.
Then again… Replacing the 2-line with a 4-line LCD display would be an even better way.
thanks Zenta. I used a part of your code (sound) and redo to understand it
2 lines is a little small.it’ll be for the next version of the remote.
I put the battery level of the remote on the right and the battery of the robot on the left
Modification is necessary for another lcd. I’m using a parallel lcd converted to serial by a 16F688

The conceptual circuit of the remote looks something like this
robotshop.ca confirmed the order. I am still waiting servos from robotshop.eu to finish the ant
I received the servos to continue the project:D
