I’m from Canada and i’m studing in electric engineering. I’m doing a project about an hexapod and I think I’ll use the phoenix for the earth of my project. I surfed alot on the web to get information about hexapod and i think i’ll make my own IK code and my own servo controler board. The reason of this message is beacause i’m thinking about the servo i’ll need with the phoenix. I Know i need 12 x HS-645MG for the Tibia and the Femur, but i was asking myself if HS-475 could be ok for the Coxa knowing the servo don’t need that much of torque.
First: Does the HS-475 fit in the ASB-04 Brakets
Second: Is the torque of HS-475 ok.
I’m only asking this question beacause of financial reason
I know the Phoenix don’t have a place for a head but he is a bit larger… is there’s other differences? (I know it’s maybe not the right place to ask this question when i know Micromagic is maybe a compatitor of lynxmotion but it’s just for information)
Thanks for ur awnsers
Note: Sorry if there’s some error in my english, i’m French lol
My BlackWido does also got 12x 645’s and 6x 475’s for the same financial reason. BlackWido still runs great so there isn’t any problem to use those for the coxa.
There are a lot of different hexapods on the market. Lynxmotion has got a lot of different designs of there own. Most hexapods do have there own specialities. For instance the CH3-R can carry more weight then the phoenix but I think the phoenix is more sexy and natural moving because of his design. The phoenix and the HSR-H01 are both using the same mechanical setup (single femur, tibia servo above femur servo). Both have there own controllers with there own specialities as well. I’ve never tried the HSR-H01 but I think they are both good quality hexapods with a lot of possibilities! So it’s up to your personal choice if you ask me
Your French and from Canada…? You just lost me
Finaly I choosed the Phoenix. Because i was thinking the price of the HSR-H01 was in Euro but it was in Uk money… a lot much expensive … so i choosed the phoenix with 6 x HS-475 and 12 x HS-645MG

After my waiting :**
I just received my Phoenix
Nothing to say but it’s beautiful. I’m working on a custom servo controler with a PIC24FJ64GA002… it should take a bit of time but will be mine.
I stopped to work on my hexapod for a while, getting information and other things.
But at this moment, i finished to code my IK in my microcontroller and in work when I control a single legs. At this moment, I control my Phoenix with Hyperterminal fonction of the PC but al calcul are made by my code.
I’ve also done a Prototype PCB to control all the 18 servo with only 1 microcontroler.
I have only a problem i’m triing to resolve: when i’m giving juice to all servo with my PCB i got problem with my allimentation. It will surely resolve it soon … or i’ll need to build a new PCB with a new design.
At this moment I only need to put my IK to all the other legs at to be able to creat gait.
BlackWido still runs great so there isn’t any problem to use those for the coxa.
looks like I’ve learned something new today
