TinyWalker

Today this tiny crawler took his first steps! This robot uses 5 small-size RC servo’s and is controlled by a small custom microcontrollerboard using an Atmel ATmega8. This controller board is very minimalistic. No power supply regulator, no crystal, just the controller, some capacitors and pcb edge connectors for directly connecting the servo flat cables. Here are the C sources (winavr): tinywalker.zip

More on the used micrcontrollerboard can be found on the mublock-pages. In case you’re interested, I have had a large batch of these boards made, so they are very cheap 🙂
