Hi all I have printed all parts and my servo2040 finally arrived. And I have a problem that I follow the step to flash the firmware to the board and look like the firmware was not accepted by the board? After drag and drop uf2 image file immediately offline disconnected and not a automatically reboot and start the loaded program! And I have check no file was transferred. And I have try many time it doesn't works like you did in the video. Did I missed any step? Please help me thank you

Out of the initial 6 tips that I printed only 1 allowed full movement of the dowel to allow the switch to click. I suspect the measurements are correct but the tolerance is very low, so to make this have a slightly wider margin of error we can just cut 1mm from this model. I tried messing with the limiter a bit, but ultimately found it much easier to simply cut the bottom millimeter off the tip in prusaslicer. To preserve the aesthetic we should just take 1mm from the middle of the model.

I'm happy to do this when I get around to it, mostly just wanted to create this issue to track since multiple people in the discord have mentioned having issues with this part.

Some carriers lock hotspot functionality behind subscription verification via cellular network, making it difficult to hotspot on the Chica Server with an old unused phone - consider adding Bluetooth connectivity for control.

It would be nice if you could calibrate the servos using the Chica Server app. The calibration data could then automatically be saved to the configuration file.

Allow the hexapod to move over rough terrain with multiple heights.

The server and client software for mobile phones mentioned are open-source. Where can they be downloaded? Thank you.

Hello everybody, at last after 1 month I received all the material from aliexpress and I started working on the hexapod. Definetively it is very minuciosous work but the robot plains and explications are very clear, therefore in 5 days I completed it with successful.
now I can tell it, it is cool! Thank you maker ;)

Set variables in the config file to the robot's responses to low voltage or high current have adjustable reactions.

Variables:

• High Current Warning
• High Current Critical
• Low Voltage Warning
• Low Voltage Critical

Reactions (for each variable)

• None
• Visual Alarm
• Visual and Auditory Alarm ( bonus feature - select local sound files for alarms! 😄 )
• Servo power kill

I don't have access to a Pololu servo controller, so I will try to use Adafruit PCA9685 along with Arduino for the servo controls. Will submit the solutions as I go along with the process.

Hey, yh the title pretty much asks the question. Looking into buying some servos and found that the 360 are cheaper than the 180, was wondering if that would be an issue at all. Have experience with electronics and some coding but when it comes to robotics I'm pretty new.

I found that if you change apps on the remote control phone while the robot has a motion command, the robot keeps going the same direction until the app regains focus and you touch the software joystick again. Ideally the robot should stop moving or torque off if the remote control app loses focus.

1.) Add a silhouette or transparent graphic or something to the software joystick to indicate that the left side of the screen is the front of the robot

2.) Color code or group buttons into categories:

• Static motions like Dive and Flex
• Gaits and modifiers like Crabwalk
• Single action commands like home, jump and bounce

3.) Current and voltage readings on the Client UI would be helpful

Hi,
Can you please add an option on the Chica app to allow a setting to change the default height of the hexapod ?
Thanks a lot !

I am making one hexapod according to all the material on the list and wired all the cable and components according to the wire diagram but the hexapod have no response...

I don't no what the problem is..
It is weird that when I connect the phone to the hexapod, the client apps opens automatically. Two main board have orange and green lights on but there is no response even the touch sensor and all the servo.

Could anyone help on this?

I have simply tried to connect one legs with a pololu 6channel board and connect to the phone and it has no response too.... is there anything I have missed? I am just a amateur in this field so I have no ideas what to do.

Anyway Merry Christmas to all of you!

Hi, awesome project! I am in the process of building the Chipo model with some MG996R servos I have lying around. I have opted to use the metal servo horns for this, so was looking to edit the Chipo parts. Looking at the repository, the STEP files seem to only be for the Chico model - could STEP files for the Chipo parts be made available?

based on the partlist provided in the README.md, the diameter of the rubber tip cover was 8mm. but the tip.step has a diameter of 9mm. I only just realized this after printing it out and will have to redesign to make it 8mm like the rubber tip. Luckily, I haven't mass printed them, so the issue was easy to fix. That aside, what should the diameter of the tip be? Does it even matter?
