Ez Arduino 8 DOF Quadruped Robot - MiniKame Mk2

thingiverse

This is a highly affordable 3D printed 8 DOF quadruped robot controlled by an Arduino-kind control board. It has two operating modes: autonomous pilot mode, where the robot moves on its own; and app-controlled mode, where you can use your smartphone to command it remotely. The robot's body is made of 3D printed parts, while the legs are powered by eight Tower Pro MG90s servos. To assemble the robot, you'll need a few additional components: a female-female dupoint wire for connecting two pins together; some M2x6 tapping screws to secure the legs in place; and a Bluetooth module (HC-06, HC-05 or SPP-CA) if you want to control it remotely. If you choose to use a Bluetooth module, you'll need to configure its baud rate to 115200. You can do this by uploading a special program to the Arduino board before connecting it to the robot's code. The process involves switching the S1 switch on the HuaDuino board from USB to BT mode, running the BLE setup program, and then switching back to USB mode to upload the main robot code. The robot is controlled using the "firmware.ino" sketch in the Arduino IDE software. You'll need to select the correct board type (Arduino Nano) and processor (ATmega328) based on your HuaDuino's firmware version.
