Hello,
this is my first post so please don't be too hard on me.
I want to build & program a hexapod robot which should be able to walk (later autonomously, too).
My biggest problem is not the programming part, as I have already programmed robot controls (/w ROS), computing of IK etc. but rather the hardware part (electrical engineering and such).
Before buying stuff blindly and spending a lot of money, I would like to know if those parts below fit together (regarding voltage and such):
The body with a shell of 15.5 cm x 17.5cm to house RPi3, Servo Control and Battery: http://www.ebay.de/itm/261910656474
RPi3 for computing stuff http://www.ebay.de/itm/252376871188
32-Channel Servo Controller as RPi cannot handle the PWM for 18 Servos: http://www.ebay.de/itm/282010069402
18x Servos MG996R: http://www.ebay.de/itm/351639855333
Battery 6V NiMh 2800mAh: http://www.ebay.de/itm/351685611515
Breadboard and Jumper Cables for testing: http://www.ebay.de/itm/331744431296 and http://www.ebay.de/itm/151994883665
MoPi hat for energy management: https://pi.gate.ac.uk/pages/mopi.html
As this is my first time building a robot I am a tad insecure about this first step and really appreciate your help in this matter.
If there is any major flaw or improvement in this setup, please let me know.
Thank you,
Alhex
