I am building my first bot. Wish me luck. Lol. I have a T-hex 3 DOF chassis with EZ-Robots HDD servos and plan to use the EZ-B as the controller. I have the EZ-B v4/2 Developer Kit on the way. Will the EZ-B be able to handle the current draw of the 6 additional servos? I am no stranger to RC or drones and thought this would be a challenging project.
Thanks, Jeff
Chelsea Right now I just want to get it up and running. Learn about the EZ-B controller and make it walk smoothly. Then I would like to add a joystick so I could allow others to control it without handing them my phone or tablet.
rz90208 Looks nice. Sounds like a good plan. Look forward to seeing it.
Using cheap servos and an old NiCad battery from my RC racing days and powering the servos and the Arduino from the same battery. It would work for a while and then would curl up like a spider sprayed with poison. But once I used separate power for the Arduino it worked nice. but did not have much for control. forward back rotate left and rotate right and that was a wired controller. But now if I would redo it with the HDD servos and the EZB, and a few sensors, I could take over the world!
Making a little progress. Working on the gates now.
R2D2 has given up some old parts. Lol

Looking good, have fun creating the Gaits. It took me quite a lots of hours using Auto Position to do this, a lot of fine tuning to get the legs in sync. The fastest gait is the tripod’ gait, but I do like the other two the ripple’ and wave’ gaits.
Looking forwards in seeing the video.
Ah poor R2. We can rebuild him faster stronger!
The Auto Position control has quite a bit of documentation to get you started. Check it out here: https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/Help.aspx?id=180
Lol. R2 is getting a new brain.
