cheverecamachidoche 13 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Hi guys. Im developing an hexapod robot with a launchpad that is controlled by remote control with a capacitive touch booster pack and an CC110L anaren air booster pack, the project is not finish yet but this is a little preview of the final design. The body and the legs of the robot is make of MDF wood and was design and build by my own :thumbup: cubeberg, izdane, Rickta59 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dkedr 31 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 That's pretty cool, did you build the legs and servo mounts yourself or did you get a kit from some place? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jsolarski 94 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 very cool!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Oh holy crap!. Looks sweet. Is that from Lynxmotion? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jsolarski 94 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 what is controlling the servos? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cheverecamachidoche 13 Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 jsolarski. Im sending the position of the servos trough the UART to a servocontroller. dkedr and bluehash. The lynxmotion kit is expensive here so I had to built the body with MDF wood. RobG 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cubeberg 540 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Very cool! Could you provide more detail on the hardware used - specifically servos and the servo controller? Do you plan on publishing printable templates for the body itself? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cheverecamachidoche 13 Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 cubeberg. I utilised 18 Hitec HS 322HD servomotors and a pololu minimaestro 18 Channel, yes I will share the body plans but first I have to make it in a CAD software Nytblade, GeekDoc and cubeberg 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jsolarski 94 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 if I only had more shapelok. ..... lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cheverecamachidoche 13 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 Jsolarsky. Yes jeje shapelock is a good option maybe you can try with MDF, is cheaper than shapelock.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jsolarski 94 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 MDF is cheaper but I dont have the tools to cut it. All I have is a dremel and a.dollar store hand saw. as for shapelok, all I need is hot water an exacto knife and my pasta maker. lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nytblade 24 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I am curious how you got the code for the CC110L working. Did you just write it all yourself? I've been reading the Anaren source code but I hate it... layers upon layers of C preprocessor. It feels almost like it was generated by a computer program, rather than coded by a human. Somewhere on this forum I also got the code from SLAA325A, but it doesn't have a Launchpad hardware board defined. The SWRS109A datasheet for the CC110L is not exactly fun to read either.

Yes the anaren code is indecipherable lol, so I searched in the forums and I found a CC110L source code from larsie: http://www.43oh.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=1889&start=50 Nytblade 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
larsie 121 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Very nice. I just ordered a laser cutter. Would be cool to make some of these Are the plans open? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I just ordered a laser cutter. From where is it? :thumbup: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
