Happy B-day Zenta! My B-day came and went without notice 
Anyway, I have a question about the DB9 connectors on the BB2 and the SSC-32. It looks like the stand-offs are very close to the connector and from the angle the pictures were taken, it looks like it might interfere with the 9 pin receptacle from making a nice square connection. Can you plug a cable all the way on both boards with them installed in the chassis?
:mrgreen: AH! Happy B-day Zenta! :mrgreen:
I’m sorry to hear that Mike. It might be some time ago(?) but: -> Happy B-day (at least I hope you had a happy one)
It was October 26, thanks Xan, it was a happy happy B-day! 
That was a Monday. I blame that for not noticing. 
Hi Zenta
Just seen the picture you posted on my “hexapod art gallery” on micromagic… had to know more…
I figured your new super hex would be on here… ive never really looked through the lynx forum, but will be doing a lot of digging now!
This new hex is cool, well done! Its lit many little lightbulbs above my head, loads of new ideas now! You keep making stuff that makes all the rest of our a bit rubbish! haha!

Welcome to the forum Wattsie!
Great Pix!
So what all are you switching with your power control panel?
Alan KM6VV
Thanks, and welcome wattsie!
Sharing ideas is one of the strongest side with the robotic community. We hope your willing to share your ideas with us 
Thanks Alan,
I’ll quote myself…
Thanks Xan!
What!! Tiny LiPo??? 
I’m glad you liked it!
Zenta, I was curious about the current design. I posted this already but it got buried quickly so here is a copy/paste of the original:
“I have a question about the DB9 connectors on the BB2 and the SSC-32.

Sorry Mike I missed that.
You are absolutely correct! Thats one/two engineer/design mistake I didn’t think of when making the hand drawings. But it can easily be solved by simply removing the spacer. Another solution is a little adjustment in the design. But I didn’t bother to spend more time on cutting out a new body. Also the SSC32 com plug is a little close to the power switch panel. Lucky me its on the same side for both the BB2 and SSC32 com plug, so I simply modified my serial cabel connector… 
But also this can be solved with some small adjustment.
After all its a prototype…
Are you planning to publish your modified BAP code when it’s done? I’d love to take a look at the modified algorithm.
I would also like to second it, happy birthday!
Kurt
Yes.
The code are based upon Xan’s v2.0 code. I still have some work left on the algorithm part, but I’ll post the modifications when its done.
Should I say something…
I’m not gonna say something…
Oh I want to…
No!,
Zipped…
Im more than happy to share my ideas… sadly they seem slightly eclipsed by your imagination, skill and by the looks of it huge collection of SES brackets! haha! I need to dedicate more time to playing about with my hex’s!
Wattsie
Ah yes! If only we had more time to play with our toys! Ahem, engineering models!

Wow zenta, that’s absolutely amazing. Functionality-wise, this is the best 4-DOF leg design I ever seen. The single leg post really show the advantage of the 4th DOF. I can already imagine T-Hex run over another mech and stomp on it with its belly.
Zenta. iv been off line for a while, and i come back and amazed once again.
really good work. sooo creative.
it looks really strong and dominating!
this is my best picture:
yery creative with mounting the electronics. nice idea.
outstanding work and nice addition to your hexapod family.
all the best,
J
