Project for creating a hexapod robot. I don’t know exactly how many function it will have and how far I’ll go with it. But for the moment it’s cheap and a easy to build development platform.

You need :
- 3d files : hexapi_003_shar
- 9G servo motor (here or here)
- 1 raspberry pi zero w (here)
- 2 servo motor controller PCA9685 (here)
- Development GIT repository : https://framagit.org/dsimonet/bleuet
Change log :
09/10/2018 :
- Received two DC/DC converter (LM2596) for battery powering. This converter is only a regulator (not PowerBoost)
- New connection from one of the DC/DC converter to the two PCA9685
- New connection from Raspberry pi to the other DC/DC converter.
- Added switch to power on and off the raspberry pi properly
- The two converter was embedded together
- Now the hexapi is fully autonomous
- First test was made with battery test and raspberry is not impacted by any power consumption of motor.

Hi!
I very much like your Hexapod Design. I see you generate the parts using python. Would it be ok for you, if I clone this design using OpenSCAD? It is my preferred modelling language. If that was ok for you, I would also open-source my OpenSCAD clone and reference you as the original author.
Yes you can, I did this project to be open and free. Feel free to keep me in touch with your updates.
