We have made a minimal list of hardware we will need to make demo for the Walking robot project.
Our student is in India, so in order to make things simpler he will buy directly from an indian shop.
We have planned to buy a spider kit composed of a frame + 12 servos (3 per axis) and a servo controler. We add 2 spare servos as on walking robot servo are pushed hard and can easily burn.
The first step is to make the walking controler, so it will be first using Manual mode on Rover configuration : we add a cheap radio with some switch and 3dr telemetry. A batterie and a charger, and a power module + PDB for servo will complete the package.
For the mentor a spider kit with the same servo and motor controle will be bought.
Let’s find a better flight controller. I’m not going to support a “2.4.8”.
Perhaps a Partner (@pkocmoud@proficnc@cuavRC or @mogu ?) might have a distributor in India or would be interested in supporting the student?
We can go without the flight controller at start I think. With the servo controller we should be able to use SITL to control the frame and deal with the flight controller when it arrive. I will ask the other about the idea in order to not block everything.
