I’ve added the top chassis plate to my hexapod. I glued 16 blue leds to it and then soldered wires to the leds. The wires are connected to 2 74HC595 shift registers. My hexapod needed some sensors so I mounted 3 small servos to it. One in the bottom plate that sweeps a SRF06 ultrasonic [...]
Bajdupod 996R: Arduino hexapod from Bajdi on Vimeo. I finally finished the design of my hexapod chassis and had it laser cut this week. I had 3 plates laser cut in acrylic. The original chassis was a bit to small to fit everything. So I designed a bigger chassis and went for 3 decks. This [...]
I think I have finally solved all the bugs in my hexapod code, well at least the walking gait part of the code. The servos now move in 15 steps from one position to the other. The time between these steps determines how fast the hexapod walks. I can change the speed with my remote [...]
Spent a lot of time working on the code of my Arduino hexapod this week. I reprogrammed the way I move the servos. The code is now based on a timer (millis) instead of using a for loop and the delay function. I can now control the speed of the walking gait. I also added [...]
