Description
This is a 6-legged full walker bot mod for the Sparkfun XRP, models included are the STLs for the modded body and legs.
Necessary parts include an Arduino Uno r3 or other similar board, a servo controller board capable of controlling 18 servos simultaneously, the aforementioned 18 9g servos, several fm and mm jumper wires, and an additional power source, such as a lipo battery or benchtop supply, to supplement the insufficient power supplied to the servo controller, by the connected microcontroller board.
If you feel it necessary, the connection of a Bluetooth or otherwise wireless receiver/control board to the hexapod is advised to detach the robot from the commanding computer.
Print legs at 20% infill for best strength-to-weight ratio, layer height at discretion.
Print body at 30% infill, layer height at discretion depending on intended additional features.
For both legs and body, use glue or similar polymer for adhesion, given their large area, to avoid peeling.
