Re: pic: Robo-one legs
We'll I've already tested it and it walks fine. I'm using a lynxmotion BASIC atom pro 24 pin module and their mini Atom bot board. I'm going to have to purchase their servo controller though because I need to control (ready for this) 19 servos. I didn't really design it to walk up stairs but it can. And I'm not using any gyros (yet), it just takes about 400,000,000,000,000,000 tries before I get the servo placements and timings right so it doesn't fall over. I plan on putting up a video of it walking, but first I have to program it. If you plan on building something like this DON"T but the BASIC atom pro + bot board, it can control 20 servos, but only 1 at a time. So lets say i want the legs to crouch and both motors need to move an equivalent of lets say 800, I have to divide it by a big number and then move each one back and forth.
IE.
SERVO 1, 5
SERVO 2, 5
SERVO 1, 5
SERVO 2, 5
etc.
O, and for the batteries, I'm just using a 9 volt battery because the BASIC atom board can take up to 9 volts and convert it to 5 volts for the micro controller and the servos.
