Here’s my parts list for the Humanoid Biped w/ waist Rotate
There’s nothing that says that you have to do it this way (I recommend that you try it your own way), and don’t bite my head off if I’ve forgotten something.
If you go with the legs and a set of arms from the website, these are the brackets that you’ll need for the torso and head:
(I’m putting them in order, from the bottom of the biped to the top of the biped.)
(Many brackets are bought in pairs.
The brackets listed below, however, are listed as singles.
So, 2 ASB-11 = two ASB-11 brackets, not two pairs of ASB-11 brackets.)
Thighs:
2 ASB-11 *
2 ASB-04
2 Servos
1 AHC-1
Abdomen:
1 LPA-1 **
1 Servo
1 ASB-09
Chest:
1 ASB-12
2 ASB-04
2 Servos
Head (I didn’t buy these, but this is what I believe is used to make the head. I’m 94% sure.):
1 ASB-06
1 ASB-04
1 Servo
1 Rangefinder
Backpack (this is my design that I’ve adapted to be able to fit the head in the future):
1 ASB-06
2 ASB-02 (modified)
1 Piece of lexan, or Biped Scout’s Electronics Carier ****
X Hex Standoffs *****
Chestpack
1 Piece of lexan, or Biped Scout’s Electronics Carier ****
X Hex Standoffs *****
*Note the two ASB-11’s in the Thighs section.
In the tutorial, it shows ASB-09’s as being the proper “C” bracket to use.
This is only for the older biped, though.
Look at the new biped, it uses slanted “C” brackets.
**If you are buying aluminum servo horns (not sold, yet) you won’t need one for the LPA-1’s servo.
The LPA-1 comes with the plastic cut-out gear that you stick on the servo output.
So, you’d have nothing to stick your shiney servo horn on.
*** I’m not sure how to attach the rangefinder to the servo horn, because I’ve never used a rangefinder.
I’m sure that someone knows, though.
**** Ask Jim if he can sell you one of these, on the side. They’re not listed on the site as being sold seperately (they come with the Biped Scout kit), but he may be willing to sell you them, anyway.
Alternatively, you can buy a piece of Lexxan from the site and drill four holes in it.
I recommend the latter, because you can then build a complete casing (on all 6 sides), instead of just having a single mounting plate.
I’ll be making my own complete backpack soon, (as well as a chest pack) and I’ll be posting dimensions and pics.
***** The exact amount of hex standoffs depends on how many electronic boards you stack.
3/4" standoffs give just enough height to clear the SSC-32 and the attached servo couplings, but it’s a VERY tight fit, so be warned.
****** With a bit of wiggling, the SSC-32, and any other same-sized board will fit on the four inside holes on the two chest ASB-04’s, without any modification.
I put the 1/2" hex bolts straight through the ASB-04’s, through the 1/8" thick kydex (stronger than lexan and static-proof), through the SSC-32 (or whatever), and into the hex standoffs.
Real simple, it’s scary how well everything fits together, even when I’m not attaching like I’m “supposed” to.
Kudos, Jim.
Here’s a pic of what I did to the ASB-02’s:

Here’s a pic of how the backpack is mounted:

Hope this helps.
Let me know if there are any parts (no pun intended) that are still confusing.
^.^
EDIT:
I labeled the bent brackets “ASB-12’s” in the last picture, but they are, in fact, ASB-02’s.
Sorry, typo.
