Hexapod-Robot

🌍 Português ∙ English

Description

This repository contains some data from a hexapod robot project that I've been implementing for some time. The original project was started in 2016, when I designed and prepared the mechanical structure. Back then, my intention was to use the PIC18F4550 MCU as a controller. In the current version developed in 2023, I am using the ESP32-S2. This is an uncompleted version. I intend to keep adding more details to the project (electronic circuit and layouts), as well as continue to evolve the current code on ESP32-S2.

Technology and Components

  • Current Microcontroller: ESP32-S2, chosen for its superior performance and IoT features.
  • PlatformIO with VS Code: The firmware project was implemented using the Arduino framework on PlatformIO in VS Code.

Repository Structure

  • HexapodRobot: The main project directory, containing source code, libraries, and tests for the ESP32-S2.
  • MechanicProject: Robot mechanical drawings and models, including CAD files compatible with software like SolidWorks.

Installation and Setup

To contribute or test the project, follow these steps:

  1. Install PlatformIO IDE or integrate it with Visual Studio Code.
  2. Clone the repository and navigate to the HexapodRobot directory.
  3. Follow the instructions in platformio.ini to set up your development environment.

Usage

Instructions for assembling the robot and programming it with the provided code:

  1. Assemble the hexapod robot hardware as per the designs in MechanicProject.
  2. Load the code from the HexapodRobot directory onto the ESP32-S2.
  3. Follow the detailed instructions in the code for robot control and operations.
