- LEGACY/Hexapod_Teensy/: old robot sketch (reference only). - platformio.ini: robot env targets teensy36 (owner-confirmed board). - Config.h: per-servo SERVOS table (pin, pulse at 0 deg, signed us/deg, pulse limits) built from the old sketch's pins, ranges, trims and the old Unity servo directions. Rear-left/front-left coxa offsets set to 0: the owner re-horns those two servos (the old +-90 left them at the end of travel; the sim showed them clamping). - ServoDriver: 18 servos on hardware PWM (50 Hz, 16-bit); the Teensy 3.6 Servo library stops at 12. - Radio on CE 39 / CSN 15 with SPI SCK on pin 14. - sim: analogWrite/PWM shims, pulses decoded through SERVOS (API v6). - Docs: CLAUDE.md, READMEs.

# Hexapod
|
|
|
|
A six-legged walking robot (Teensy 3.6) and its handheld remote
|
|
(Teensy 4.1 + Nextion touchscreen), linked over nRF24L01.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
robot/ robot firmware: IK, gait, body pose, IMU stabilization, state machine
|
|
remote/ remote firmware: 2 x 3-axis sticks, MPU6050 tilt, Nextion UI, RF24 TX
|
|
shared/ HexapodProtocol: the CmdPacket wire format + radio settings used by both
|
|
sim/ the unchanged robot firmware compiled into a DLL for the simulation
|
|
Hexapod_Simulation_Unity/ Unity project that runs that DLL on the 3D model
|
|
LEGACY/ older material kept for reference
|
|
scripts/ PlatformIO helper (per-environment sketch folder)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Build (PlatformIO)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pio run # build both
|
|
pio run -e robot -t upload
|
|
pio run -e remote -t upload
|
|
pio device monitor -e robot
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Simulation
|
|
|
|
From the repo root in PowerShell (the dev PC is Windows):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
.\sim\build.ps1 # build hexapod_sim.dll + run the headless firmware checks
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then open `Hexapod_Simulation_Unity` and press Play. See
|
|
[sim/README.md](sim/README.md).
|
|
|
|
## Where to go next
|
|
|
|
- **[robot/README.md](robot/README.md)**: placeholder geometry to measure,
|
|
the bench-check checklist, and the serial test harness for driving the
|
|
robot without a remote.
|
|
- **[remote/README.md](remote/README.md)**: wiring, control scheme, stick
|
|
calibration, and the remote's serial console.
|
|
- **[remote/NEXTION.md](remote/NEXTION.md)**: how to build the touchscreen
|
|
HMI.
|
|
- **[shared/HexapodProtocol/HexapodProtocol.h](shared/HexapodProtocol/HexapodProtocol.h)**:
|
|
the protocol. Change it only by reflashing both boards.
