  After several iterations with code and experiments with body positions, here’s the final version of the Quadropod for your judgement. Controlled over Bluetooth with a general purpose controller Android app.

• Quadropod - The library

  4 October 2019 ⋅ dyi quadropod

  Today I focused on several things:

  • Converted functional code into classes
  • Extracted general purpose pieces like the driver and the module to prepare move sequence buffers into a library
  • Built the rest of the custom code on top of it
  • Made the bot go back a step
  • Made an improvement to how the step is made which increased precision
  • Updated calculations to take the base piece length into account. Next comes turning, and this will become handy.
