The phoenix hexapod was heavily influenced by Matt's V3 hexapods. I find the BH3 kinda boring, and 2Dof hexapods even worse. And the CH3-R are not inspired by nature. That is the key aim in Matt's microcontrollers, is to aim for a fluid, life like design. Which is hard to get when they don't look like anything of nature.

However, I'm sure they're built well, and Lynxmotion has made bucket loads with brackets already.

Edit: V4 versions rather.

Hi Wattsie,

Thanks for the order , I have had a couple of people saying paypal won't take their cards, I'm not sure what causes this, but its a paypal thing!

I checked you order earlier, I have a feeling we may be short of HS-475 servos, I will check tomorrow and let you know if there is a problem. If we are short I should be able to get them in pretty quick.

cheers. M@

No problem matt, Ill happily play around with whatever I get until the remaining bits arrive!

They were all sent yesterday, so you should have them today

[wattsie]

Fantastic, cant wait to get home!

Ive been working away from home for the past few weeks at Sellafield on a job that will possibly be using some robotics, so it will be nice to get back and have it there (althought possibly at the post office!)

Should keep me out of mischief for a good while!

Cheers.....

Hi Matt,

Picked up the kit from the post office early morning, worked half a day and then started building, fantastic, so much so, i lost most of the weekend in a tangle of wires, pip's, servo's and flashing LED's.

And on that point I have to pass on a formal complaint from my girlfriend.....

"Thanks Matt, now he's going to spend even more time in that messy workshop, and not with me! Stick that on your forum thing... and see if you get a reply..."

Im sure she will calm down in time, haha! Anyhow, as I said, fantastic kit, despite some initial problems with TerraTerm, (refuses to connect) I stuck with Hyperterminal and was good to go.... having a lot of problems getting my PS2 controller to work, but I think I just needed some sleep... Ill have another go tonight!

LOL

I might have to use that as a customer testimonial . I'm not sure why TerraTerm is giving you problems, its usually MUCH better than HyperTerm?

There is a post on PS2 control and various issues that users were having, most of which were resolved by running the PS2 controllers at 3.3V instead of 5V, which voltage are you using?
