Arduino Insect

thingiverse

This project is an old favorite that my oldest son and I made together. My son wanted to build a robot, and what better way to start than with this insect? It's been about three years since we created this insect using Arduino. At the time, I couldn't find any decent designs for making an Arduino insect, so we created our own from scratch. The prototype shield on top was made to keep the wire ring nice and clean. I bent the legs out of 2.5 mm of RVs rod. Shopping list: 1 x Arduino Uno 2 x Standard servos (I used Robbe fs100) 1 x Ultrasonic sensor (I used HC-SR04) 1 x 9-volt battery Various M3 nuts and bolts Sadly, the Arduino insect is currently dismantled. I repurposed the Arduino and servos for another project. Unfortunately, I lost the Arduino code somewhere along the way. However, I found a page on Instructables that explains how to make and program an Arduino insect at: http://www.instructables.com/id/BUILD-YOUR-OWN-INSECT-ROBOT-USING-ARDUINO-AND-SERV/ 3D printing settings: Layer Height: 0.2 Shell Thickness: 0.8 Bottom/Top Thickness: 0.8 Infill: 20% No support
