DiaLFonZo HEXapod Mini - Idea

Hi All,

I now have my CNC working… so that’s get me in the way to create a new project of mine…
Sadly i am not the best of programmer out there… :frowning:

I am getting 8 of those servo for a project with innerbreed:
lynxmotion.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=7748&hilit=sphere

Those servo:

So i will judge of quality once i get them here.
but i was looking to do a mini hexapod with those servo.

Right now i am not locked on any controller …
I have Arduino-Botboard-SSC32-PS2 on hands

Would start the design of the frame once i have a better idea of hardware use.
Frame will be made of 1.5mm G10 (Fiberglass) material mostly.

Any advice, idea etc… are very welcome… even if people want to jump in i can provide the parts at just a little over the cost of material and cut… :wink:

You could build something like this - it’s just an idea. :mrgreen:

P.S. Some links I found related to it:

Yes but that’s not small… :stuck_out_tongue:
The servo i am looking at are HS65 size

Oh right :blush:, well I’m out of ideas for the time being then. ^___^

HaHa… :wink:

But i am mostly looking for which Control hardware to choose.

I have the idea to use a SSC-32 linked to a Arduino Pro Mini 16mhz 5v

That circuit board is soo cool! I can’t believe it’s that small :open_mouth: - I’m definitely going to buy one of those and it’s not that expensive either! ^___^
Thanks for the link! :mrgreen:

I sell them… Lol

you have my address… Lol :wink:

I will start the drawing of the parts soon…
Very busy at work theses days… but i want a BabyHEX… :wink:

BTW: mine are white… :stuck_out_tongue: and produce in US

How much do you sell them for?

Sorry for the late reply…
17.95$

About as small as they get. I think I’ve seen 18 servo hexapods made from the HTX900 servos and popsicle sticks. With small servos, the legs need to be kept short.

HéHé…
That’s real small.

Yes i will start drawing something for sure… :slight_smile:

No problem. So what would the total costs come to if you had to ship it to the U.K.? I’ve found them being sold over here for about £13 ($21). ^___^

I will link you to my buddy who is in Texas.
He have them in stock and have an online shop.

He cut and sell my Helicopter model.
We work together.

It turned out to be more expensive but thank you anyway. :mrgreen:

Just to let you know.
It cost me 15$ each to buy direct from manufacturer and it’s US made.

Cool, thanks for the info. :mrgreen:

Ok… starting to sketch things…!
