Passioned by robotics since few years, I build some little bots when I get time. ^^
My last creation is a hexapod based on the phoenix-kit.
His processor is a Gumstix Overo with wifi and bluetooth, a webcam (for video streaming), and audio output (with vocal synthesis).
Here you can see a pictire of the robot 2 month ago :
And a video :
This week end, I just receive the new Lynxmotion foot sensors that I have order, so I’m beginning to do the terrain adaptation :
You can see a lot of video of my robot on my website (In french sorry, I will do it in English soon ^^) : kriegel.joffrey.free.fr/
I think the throughput is fine, it’s just that I do some pauses to be sure the GPIO in the processor is actualized. I’m going to accelerate the movements to see if it always works!
PS : It’s difficult to tune the 6 footsensor on the same way. Some must have punch hard the floor and other don’t need to touch very hard the floor. Maybe I will see if I can tune all the sensors on the same way.
I think I know what you mean. Make sure the nylon shoulder washer is inserted all the way into the hub. You might need to push it in with a screw driver or blunt tool. I noticed some were a little tighter than others. Also make sure the rubber end cap is trimmed away from the contact point. If it’s too close it can cause more pressure to be required to make the connection. It’s a matter of fine tuning.
