So there are total `18` **Servo motors** (TowerPro `MG92B`) -* Linkt 7697 dont have so many **PWM control**, so NXP `PCA9685` x 2 are used to control these servo motors -* **Power** comes from a `2S Lipo battery (7.4v)`. Also 7 x `mini360 DC-DC` step down voltage regulator are used. One to provide `5V` to Linkit 7697, The other six to provide `6V` to each legs (1 mini360 serve 3 servo) -* The **body** is 3D printed PLA. I use `Prusa i3 MK2S`, a really good 3D printer. -* Everything (3D STL, PCB schematic, 7697 source code) are included in the project under **GPL license**, Happy making! +This project reused most of the mechanism design in the original project, but with a totally redesign on the circuits and softwares. +The table below shows the difference between this project and the original one. + +| | Original hexapod-v2-7697 | This project | +| --------------- | ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------- | +| Controller | Linkit 7697 | Raspberry Pi Zero W or Raspberry Pi Zero W 2 | +| PWM control | Custom circuit board | 2 x PCA9685 motor driver boards | +| DC-DC | 7 x mini360 modules | 2 x XL4005 5A Max DC-DC modules and 1 x mini360 | +| Power | 2S Lipo battery | 2 x 18650 batteries | +| Remote | BLE | WiFi | +| Remote software | Android and iOS | PC, Android (WIP) | ## Skill requirement
