My Hexapod Marvin, Part 9 - New Legs with MG-995

[mog123noblog]

Hey, can you tell me did you supply the MG995 directly with from a 7.4V li-po? Also, great robot!

[Freccia7490]

Great job!!! Great work! Can you tell me the useful angle of MG995???

Thanks

[tt01racer]

Hmm that would be difficult because I,am already working on it right now.

But i understand you hookt them directly on the battery so you didn't convert it to 6V?

[meckpommer]

that's right. perhaps they live a little longer if you use 6V - perhaps ;-) i am now working on a new hexapod with 38 Servos, and i am wont use these MG-995 again. not at 4,8 - 6 oder 7,4V :)

Hi

I'am working on a hexapod with 18 mg995's too.

But how did you supply them all?

And what kind of battery are you using?

thanks

[meckpommer]

The MG995 are specified to work with a 2S LiPo with 7,4V.

If you can, don't use the MG955! During the last 12 months, i had to replace 40% of them :-(

[pjwerneck]

@meckpommer that's weird. I used the MG995 on my hexapod too and never had a problem. one of them had to be replaced after the hexapod itself pulled the power supply voltage knob and got it up to 13V, but that's all.

can i get the camera vision code

[attiny45]

what program langues do you write in

[meckpommer]

it's 40% bascom and 60% assembler

[nobodies13]

that is awesome....i wan to build one as well !!!!!! can u teach me?

[d0wnwithgravity]

what is the little black thing on the tip of the leg at the start of the video- a pushbutton touch-sensor?

[Noodle930]

How are the MG-995's? Do you recommend them?

cheers

[creativemonstre]

oh.. meine frage "wieviel std. arbeit da wohl drinnstecken" wurde beantwortet ja bereits beantwortet. x) sry.

ich war schon vollkommen impressed als ich part 5 gesehen hatte.. aber das ist die krönung. ..i-wie unglaublich.

[meckpommer]

Na ja, es werden halt immer mehr Stunden, da mein Bot noch lange nicht fertig ist ... derzeit ist Part 11 bzw. 11b der aktuelle Stand, und ich denke, ich habe mittlerweile so ca. 50% fertig ;-)

[satochi08]

wooow mehr kann ich nicht sagen

[22xtall]

very nice =)

my contact ID is on muh prfoile! hP

[YxxxWxxxY]

wow men were did you found the project?

[danielpotter19912]

that thing is cute *g*

How much money and time did u spend for that?^^

[meckpommer]

money? i thing, it's been more than 1000 Euros, cause i've rebuild a lot of modules 2 or 3 times.

I started 2 years ago with marvin after some "trainig"-stuff.

[funguy661]

I built a true 8 leg bot with IR camera. The range is 1000 feet but hope to boost it to 2000 feet soon. I divided the eletronic tray and put 4 axis cervos in with some mod's to make it more insect like, I will post vid soon.

[kali35]

great great job!

keep on going.

[JavelinSST390]

Now all you gotta do is add a long arm to it, a platform, and then program it to deliver you beers from the fridge!

[meckpommer]

great idea :-)

[ChechBETA]

E.T. Home!!

[jackstickley]

and i am even more impressed. you know im looking to build something like that. any way you can help me out? where do you get all that stuff? and i assume yours is autonomous but how hard would it be to control it via joystick? how do you program stuff like that? im looking to build a miniature 6 legged bot with a rotating cockpit and turret. thiss stuff fascinates me. thanks for uploading vids!

[awsomecrossing]

ITS AN ALARM CLOCK :D

[briani4735263]

Rave crawler - AWESOME.

[Zamerakk]

just like in wild wild west only smaller

[DividedAkhiloth]

Cute! It could crawl in my room any day.

[n7275]

That thing is great

[ZentaOlbaid]

Great work Meckpommer! Very good programming.

Cheers!

[meckpommer]

Thanks a lot!

btw ... your bot is much nicer than mine ... but i hope that my next version of marvin is as beautiful as your bot b4 your bot is able to calculate alle its stuff onboard, so ...

don't hurry up :-))))

Greetings from germany 4u and your wonderful hexapod!

[mrnoobkiller]

Great Job, Marvin is looking great!

Wow, how long have you been working on him?

[meckpommer]

i startet january 2007, and i can't count the hours ;-)

[greggScutum]

This is just amazing!!!
