SpiderBot (HexaPod) HaxxorBot @ Metalab

This is the first demonstration of walking on ground ^^

The inverse kinematic engine runs on an Arduino Mega.

Currently I've implemented 3 walking cycles. This Video shows walking cycle 3.

You can find the laser plans at awesome thingiverse :-)

@speeddemon370 thank you ^^

yes, the servos are a bit jumpy. on that video i used a lipo@7.4V which should be regulated to 6V. but the lipo haz ~8.4V when fully charged - so I get about 7V after voltage down-regulation. (which is 1V above the max voltage I should use)

on the other hand I use one arduino-mega to calculate everything (@ ~15 "fps") and to drive all 20 servos (so the signal might not be the nicest quality)

and I use cheap (but strong) servos

Very well done. It is nice to see someone doing this that is not a complete hack.

It seems that your servos are a little jumpy, are you running high voltage or is there signal problems. (just curious)

Either way, well done! :)

@speeddemon370

I thought about using a separate servo controller (like from pololu)

or (what i would prefer more) I use the open servo boards (but i think currently they are too big to get into the small servos cases)

I hope I soon find the time to get my hands back on the spider

Awsome! Great work! Can't wait to see it eating People! :))
