It takes a single screw to remove the lid, to get to the batteries and then another 3 to remove the top of the robot. Direction is changed by rotating the main body, using a second motor, which changes the disposition of the legs, changing the direction in which the entire robot moves. All the 6 legs are powered with a single motors. These Battle Spiders are mechanically really interesting. Ever since I saw these HEXBUG Battle Spiders, I’ve wanted to tear them apart and supply them with a more capable brain. or is it possible to have the controller software and hardware make/listen to tones well outside the human range of hearing.This is a project I’ve had on the shelf for quite some time (2 years or so), and only just now finished up. is that even possible with Android in combination with some soort of app, to fade audio left or right per application?. or is it possible to bypass so you don't need an external speaker? Hmmm you'd also have to be able to tell the controller app to just use the left channel and Skype to use the left channel. the controle tones would go over the left-audio and the sound over the right, you'd have to use an external speaker I guess since the phone's internal speaker is turned off when you plug in an audio jack. like Caine when he was turned into a robot in RoboCop 2 :D Doing the Skype conversion, you could make it 2-way communications. What also would be cool is if you could use the phone in upright (portrait) position using the front camera and display a face animation on the screen while the spider-bot is walking around. After tightening, check that no copper wire strands are shorting together.ĭouble check all your connections and make sure there are no shorts (connections between wires) before inserting batteries. Insert the stripped wires into the holes as shown, and tighten the screw above the hole using a small flat head screwdriver. Reversing the connections can either damage the ADMCB or cause the robot to move incorrectly.Ĭonnecting the wires to the ADMCB is easy using the flat head screw terminals. It's very important that all the wires are connected to the ADMCB EXACTLY as shown. You can learn more about the ADMCB here: The ADMCB decodes the tones into forward and reverse voltages to the motors.
The Android device will control the motors in the Hexbug Spider by sending tones through the headphone jack to the ADMCB. The EMGRobotics Audio Dual Motor Controller Board (ADMCB) connects to the motors in the Hexbug Spider, the battery holder, and the headphone jack on the Android device.
