Hexapod
A Hexapod Robot using Raspberry Pi Zero W
Introduction
This is a hexapod robot based on Smallp Tsai's hexapod-v2-7697 project. This project reused most of the mechanism design in the original project, but with a full redesign of the circuits and software. The table below shows the difference between this project and the original one.
