Wonder if anyone can shed some light on stopping the gait motion when a foot sensor senses or obstacle or doesn’t sense a ground ahead?
So the robot stops the foot at that specific height, and continues with the gait Or backs away from the edge
I am now polling for the switch every XX counts down, it not only takes a considerable amount of time but it’s not very accurate. (Toppled a few times)
Any kind soul can offer their advice/SCC-32 codes and I’ll convert to C to test on my quad.
The yellow one on the right is the EH2-KT. The one on the left is a prototype I am working on to replace the EH2-KT. Here is more information…
Pasted from another thread.
I have been experimenting with the tibia on this prototype 2DOF hexapod. There is a spring that allows the tip if the tibia to float while the hex is walking. The middle leg takes the brunt of the floating when the hex is walking forward, but the fore and aft tibias do more floating when the hex is turning in place.
The tibia needs to be made from aluminum, and I need to decide if the femur will be two plates or just the one. Trying to keep the costs down.
The chassis is now aluminum…
Here is an image of the bot.
Here is a closeup of the leg.
Here is the chassis with the optional side panels.
