Hexapod Hexer was originally conceived as a simple and cheap robot(price $ 100) that does not require additional modules and blocks. The whole brain was collected on a single microcontroller PIC 16F887, powered by three batteries from the laptop, used the towerpro SG90 servo-motors. Controlled robot with a homemade remote control via bluetooth, also the robot can be controlled from a computer or smartphone. Remote made for PIC 16F873A, blutooth module HC-05, the battery from the cell phone. Also, wanted to make the most compact robot that was convenient to store. The time spent on creating a robot for about 1.5 months, from concept to results.
