Wow!
Wow. that’s a nice big hexapod. Looks really impressive.
Servo cables nicely sleeved and smart usage of space by putting the ubec in his head. Switches as eyes. It will be a clean looking robot I think.
Question: do you have some specs on the hardware you gonna use? Arduino? What are your plans about sensors and stuff?
I’m using an Arduino MEGA,
I’m using an Arduino MEGA, servo controller (SSC32u) a ps2 remote cotrol, and a buzer to know when i’m pressing the sticks-buttons. The spider runs on a modified phenix code to mach my servos pulses.
The servos are standard size @15kg with speed 0.18.
At max speed - full moves, can reach up to 11Amps@5V. Thats why im going to use the turnigy UBEC with a lipo battery @6V.
Small pieces of wood are screwed on femurs to avoid twisting and miss calculate the angles when running the movements.
Very cool! I recently built
Very cool! I recently built a quadropod using 12 micro servos, and I apparently skimped too much on the servos. They’re not strong enough to lift the thing from a squatting down position.
Can yours easily lift itself? Have you got an url for the servos you’re using?
Another question… What are
Another question… What are you using for the foot pad things?

I have found them in my garage, cant remember where i removed them. But you can find something like

**Does anyone has a pixy CM5? **
Does anyone has a CMUcam5 Pixy used or new for testing to make the hexapod a bit autonomus?
Pheonix code question
Can anyone tell me the following variables in what cm corespond according to the body/leg shown in the pic?
Hex_Cfg.h file
cXXCoxaLength
cXXFemurLength
cRRTibiaLength
cRROffsetX
cRROffsetZ
cRMOffsetX
cRMOffsetZ
cRFOffsetX
cRFOffsetZ
Source Code
When you are at at good point would you mind sharing the source code? My poor Hexapod hasn’t moved in 4 years. Fried the power regulators and never got back to it. Recall being stuck on simple gait.
The printed parts look great. Both form and color.

Hello
The code am using is the standar pheonix.
Im trying to inderstand the code thats why am asking
What are the variables above.
If you need kurts repo for the code let me know
Pheonix code
I have a couple copies dating back 5 years. Neither seems to be “complete”. Would like to restart with something that soneone has had some degree of success.

pm me with ur email to send you my copy.
