[image] This hexapod robot is a hobby project that I finished a few months ago. I have always been fascinated by Matt Denton’s hexapods and wanted to build one myself. And this is as close as I could get with my programming experience :slight_smile: Programming the locomotion…

Great project @wingman :smiley: What is currently the top speed of this little bug? :slight_smile: Thank you.

Thanks! Currently the speed is limited in software, the servos can go a lot faster. I just think it looks nice that way. Right now there are two variables for speed: The leg speed that is based on the gait sequence and the movement speed that is based on user inputs. If the move…

Excellent :slight_smile: Thank you for this explanation :slight_smile: How much did this project cost you approximately?

You could build the robot for 150-200€ but I ended up buying some extra parts and servos, so it might have been more than that.

Thank you! I designed the PCB myself. It contains mostly just the STM32, a PWM driver and a connector for the Raspberry Pi. I’ve already had a quick look at the Lynxmotion Hexapod thread, it definitely a good place to look for inspiration. And nice to see that firmware is still …

@wingman Welcome to the RobotShop Community! The way you printed the frame and parts seems like it’s commercial. Well done! You indicated “custom PCB” - did you design and create it yourself?

You might be interested in the Lynxmotion SES V2 Hexapod project too:

Although Mat Denton was unavailable to participate in this latest Lynxmotion project, we do have all the regular hexapod gurus: KurtE, Xan, Zenta and more. The current status of the project is that there has recently been an LSS firmware update and some fixes are being worked on.
