Hello, I am from Germany and am currently building your hexapod. you really did a very good job. their documentation is very very good. ❤ You rarely see such good work. Thank you very much for your work
This is super sweet, we are going to learn how to use raspberry pi's in the engineering program im in after christmas break, Id love to be able to build something like this myself. I got a 3d printer and everything
If you are asking if it is possible to replace the arduino with the frsky module, the answer is no. If you are asking if using the frsky module as another controller/receiver, yes it is possible but would require some wiring and code changes.
Hello, I have some questions about this robot for you.Because my structure is a little different from yours, some parameters need to be modified. Can you teach me how to determine those parameters?
Its wonderful. Can you please guide me on how can I build my own but using A Raspberry Pi. If possible by any chance then please guide me with the coding the Pi with python.
The servos are not the reason it is smoother. It is smoother because of the software - the gait engine and the IK algorithm in the software make it operate smoothly.
Thanks. The servos I used were about $5.00 each from Amazon... there are 18 of them, so the total for servos was about $90. The rest of the parts (SBEC, Mega 2560, LiPo battery, bearings, and screws) totalled about $75. I had the PS2 controller already, but you can find them used on ebay for around $25. The 3D printed parts used around 600g of PLA filament, so figure less than $10 for that. So total cost is right around $200.
Uh. Do you think i can build this without knowledge? I can print the things any buy the parts. But can i build this together as an noob or need i knowledge in this "things"?^^ its very cool!
This is not a good project if it's your first Arduino or servo control project. I would suggest you do simpler projects first to become familiar with the Arduino hardware and IDE, as well as what it takes to control servos with a computer. There is soldering involved to build this - you'll need to be able to solder to connect the battery, power supply, the PS2 receiver, the Arduino, and the servos. Also, the hexapod electronics and software is designed around a PS2 wireless controller and receiver, and changing to use something else would not be trivial, so you'll need to get one of those. Be sure to verify that your PS2 controller is working first (details on my website). If you do go forward with this, please be careful with the LiPo battery - read up on the do's and don'ts for charging, storage, and use of these batteries - and get a good charger. That all said, I don't want to discourage you - I think it's great that people get inspiration from this project!
Short answer: no. Longer answer: The PS2 wireless connection is a proprietary 2.4 GHz RF technology. The PS4 wireless connection is Bluetooth v2.1. This hexapod design is based on the ps2x_lib code library, and changing to a PS4 controller would require you to make changes to the receiver hardware as well as the hexapod software. That all said, generic wireless PS2 controllers are extremely cheap on Amazon ($13.99 at the time of this writing), so if you want to build this hexapod as-is I really suggest you just get one of those. See my website (markwtech.com/robots/hexapod) for links and more information.

This is probably the smoothest most fluid hexapod gait I've ever seen. Nice work!
thanks a LOT for sharing this! I'm trying to create the same but with pololu mini maestro!

I would add something rubber too the feet, better traction and will make it not slider around as much. But over all looks amazing
awesome! im gonna build this
Did you build it finally?
which one button in ps2 to push for "Z axiss offset & tripod walk"?? please because i'm make your project
Great project! Is this possibile to use frsky rx/tx for controll?

@@markwtech7492 please do it or help me please 🙏

I answer this exact question on the hexapod page on my website. Look near the bottom of the page. markwtech.com/robots/hexapod/
@@markwtech7492 Thanks for your reply, I seem to know what to do.
How much does your robot weigh? thanks you
about 2.3 kg
Its wonderful. Can you please guide me on how can I build my own but using A Raspberry Pi. If possible by any chance then please guide me with the coding the Pi with python.
Why is your robot more smoother than orders guys that built from yours? Is it from the servo?
The servos are not the reason it is smoother. It is smoother because of the software - the gait engine and the IK algorithm in the software make it operate smoothly.

total cost? for servos mainly? great hexapod, i will try to build one as well, looks cool
