The machine is an AX-12 based Phoenix hexapod.
evilmachina.com/the-machine.aspx
Project Goals:
First step is to get the hexapod to move using some type of external input devise, keyboard or game pad.
Second step is to add sensors to the robot.
Third step is to make it automated.
This project is more about the software then the hardware. If I’m doing it right it should be fairly easy to replace the AX-12 with regular servos.
Materials/Parts List:
Software:
OS: Windows XP
Language: C# 3.0
**
Parts:**
Lynxmotion Phoenix kit
18 AX-12+ Servos from a Bioloid kit
“USB Bus Interface” from Huv Robotics
I’m probably going to use a VIA EPIA PX 10000 Pico-ITX as the brain, I currently using my desktop computer.
I will publish the source code as soon I find a good open software license, at the moment I locking at GPL, LGPL, Apache and BSD so if you have any experience of any of those or any other please tell my whichyou prefer.
A big thanks Zenta and his Phoenix Excel Program that I have used to check my calculations and done reverse engineering on.
