Hey everyone. I have really enjoyed reading this forum, and am now working on my own design of a hexapod inspired by the A-pod and the ic hexapod. I have access to a laser cutter, so it’s been fun to create and design parts to give it a somewhat unique look.
I am about to drill holes for the servo horns in the top body plate, and my question is the following:
How should I plan the initial positioning of the legs? I have seen that the ic hexapod should be calibrated with all 6 legs perpendicular to the body’s y axis. With the A-pod, it appears that you line them up with the screws in the coxa servo horn (ie. somewhat radially, for lack of a better description).
Can anyone weigh in on this? I’ve got a trip planned to our local hacker-space and I want to have everything planned appropriately before I reserve time on the laser cutter and drill press.
If anyone’s interested I’ll post some pics of what I have so far.
