Nova SpotMicro - a Spot Mini Quadruped Robot Dog Clone

[@stefi300972]

who else is building this, not saying they will but building it now?

[@ChrisLocke1969]

great question, I would love to know as well. I will pose the question in my next progress video, too.

@@ChrisLocke1969 I started printing today :) Hardware is also on it´s way. This is really an awsome project, can´t wait for the first test

[@ChrisLocke1969]

great timing, i just uploaded the stronger MidArm parts for the legs! Be sure to grab those 2 files and keep us updated on your progress!

[@kingpat2106]

@@ChrisLocke1969 great timing, that’s the file which is printing right now :)) only since about 30 mins, so I better stop this print ;) of course I keep you updated. Oh, and the Discord link on your website isn’t working.

[@wacko78jacko]

I am as well, but with different leg kinematic kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKWmdmWcprh8rtE Mix of both designs and with the stronger servos And your great work, incl lidar and electronics

[@nath042]

great video, im looking to make one of these myself, good to see one working.

[@ChrisLocke1969]

its challenging, but loads of satisfaction along the way. Have fun with it!

[@robots4kidsofficial]

Amazing robot. Applications are many.

[@franferri]

Good servos! My biggest mistake was to use cheap servos at the time I did my build.

[@ChrisLocke1969]

i started out with those on my hexapod and quickly realized they wouldn't cut it. Worth the investment 👍

[@neon3d602]

Are you working on smoothing out walking? Coz that is a good idea

[@ChrisLocke1969]

I am, indeed. There is also a kinematics walking mode underway, which will hopefully turn out much smoother and more stable than current. Stay tuned, please and thank you!

[@nikmische8456]

I subbed bc of spot mini. Love it.

[@smidge146]

Hey, I have the original SpotMicro ESP32, but I'm wanting to move to your project as it looks more established, does yours use the same STLs as the SpotMicro ESP32?

[@ChrisLocke1969]

Unlikely the same, I've done lots of work to the original designs.

[@phil_s_tech]

Wow love it

[@tiagoferreira1169]

is it possible for this dog carry a x shot rangefire nerf

[@ChrisLocke1969]

I suppose it could, doesn't sound that heavy or large.

[@gui6422lura]

hello I’m on version 4.1 or 4.2 SM3 and my robot spot don’t have all the planned movements as on your video .... What should I do? Change the code or other solution? Thank you for your answer

[@ChrisLocke1969]

I will be releasing 4.3 code in a week or two, which will fix your issue. Much has been added / changed in this coming version.

[@gui6422lura]

@@ChrisLocke1969 thank you very much , 4.3 sm3? for arduino mega?

[@gui6422lura]

@@ChrisLocke1969 I look forward to a big thank you:-) and thank you for your answer

[@ChrisLocke1969]

@@gui6422lura oh, you're on the mega version still? ya, the new code probably won't work, but the movement functions may be an easy port backwards

[@gui6422lura]

@@ChrisLocke1969 Hello yes I am with the mega, the version sm3 v4 will not work with the mega? Which card should I take for the sm3 v4 version that you will share with us?

[@starblastershooter2444]

Amazing robot,

[@phil_s_tech]

I've suscribed and I'm going to share

[@ChrisLocke1969]

Thank you so much! Every subscriber and share helps others build this awesome project! Much appreciated!

[@zadijonathan5311]

Waoooo. How you make this ???! I try it one year ago but i had many problems about it. You can make a video about the different hardware setup and the principle of working of the bot with your code explanation ?? Thank you guy and congraulation you're the best .👍👍👍👍👍.

[@ChrisLocke1969]

thanks so much. It is indeed a challengung project. I will be doing another software video this weekend, and then a teardown discussion video of all the hardware! Subscribe and stay tuned, much appreciated!

Welcome 😊

Could you publish plans on the micro server version

[@ChrisLocke1969]

I don't really have plans for that version yet e except 3d models

[@thespeculator657]

@@ChrisLocke1969 would you be willing to post them?

[@ChrisLocke1969]

Sure, give me a day or two to upload them to thingiverse 👍

[@ChrisLocke1969]

newer version is much more slim - she had a tummy tuck :)

What buck converter did you use?

you can find links to all the parts in the under-development instructable: www.instructables.com/Nova-Spot-Micro-a-Spot-Mini-Clone/

[@rehanperera3356]

Can you please help me to build this ? 😢😊

[@ChrisLocke1969]

Feel free to ask specific questions, sure... otherwise there are 70 videos, a website, git repo, and discord channel to help you. Its a daunting project, so be sure you're up to the task first, and good luck!!

[@DODG-engineering]

you made a good robot.👍👍👍👍👍🤖🐕 I am also assembling a robot🙂

[@ChrisLocke1969]

thank you and good luck with yours!

[@phil_s_tech]

Please can I get codes and schematics please 😥

[@ChrisLocke1969]

everything you need is linked below.... Github is the most complete, with diagrams, code, parts list, STL files, etc

[@isaacpry6363]

Do you give out the code?

[@ChrisLocke1969]

code and all files are linked in the description on github and Nova's website

You’re a humble genius my friend

this is very kind of you, much appreciated

Cool. It need an arm to be more interesting .

Perhaps, yes. I've been toying with several optional devices / functionality, hence the backpacks she carries 🤣😉👍
