My first run of my fully assembled custom built Scorpion Hexapod the “Fatshark Hex-Plorer”
Features…
3 DoF legs
3 DoF Tail (It was originally meant to be a 4 DoF, but overall tail weight was becoming an issue)
Body mounted “Fatshark RC Vision system”, Tail mounted “Mobius Action Camera”
2.7 kilo total mass (Including the 7.4v 2S 6000mah hardcased LiPo and Video Equipment)
Full IK based walking gaits (Heavily modified Arduino based Phoenix code).
Tail control while in motion.
On the Fly “Adjustable Body Translation Offsets”
Fully Re-Written PS2 controller mapping script (Re-written for better Dual analogue control).
More video’s coming soon!!
I have done more work since this video and removed most of the Audible debugging beeps i inserted into the code for feedback on the activation of functions.
And i have added a more refined smooth control system for handling Dual Analogue input.
