Spider Robot Installation Guide

Spider Robot
Installation
 Örümcek Robot Kurulumu

The list of bolts required to build the

spider robot is available on the side.

The servo screws specified during the

installation come with the servo motor.
You do not need to provide
additionally.

WARNING: Keep away from children

under 3 years old as it contains small
parts.

 Adjusting Servo Motor Position
Before starting the assembly, we need to manually adjust the angle adjustment of the
servo motors. Otherwise, your robot will not work properly.

Attach the Servo Arm to the servo, and then slowly turn the servo arm clockwise until
the arm stops. It's okay if the servo arm doesn't stop at the same angle shown in the
picture above. The important thing is that we find the end point of the servo.

Remove the servo arm from the servo and reposition it so that it is perpendicular to
the servo body.

Slowly turn the servo arm counterclockwise until it is parallel with the servo body
as shown. This is the center position of the servo and it is important to center the
8 servos in the set before starting the assembly of the robot. After the servo arm
is parallel to the servo body, remove the servo arm and set it aside for later
assembly.

6
If your servo motors are 360 degree analog servos, you cannot do manual cabling.
That's why you can calibrate your servo motors thanks to the code I shared with you at
the bottom.

As in the circuit diagram

on the side, turn your
servo motors into
1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8. Install the
code at the bottom to
your arduino by attaching
it to the pins. If you do not
do this, your robot will not
work stably.

You can access the whole code with the link and QR code below.

 Leg assembly

Perform steps 1 to 9 4 times.

Step 1 - Place a servo single arm on the pedestal pivot plate and screw the servo
mounting screw into the servo single arm from the rear of the leg up pivot plate.

Step 2 - Attach a servo single arm to the standing servo arm and attach a servo
mounting screw to the servo. Screw on the servo single arm from the back of the
leg servo arm.

Step 3 - Attach a leg parallel joint to the leg piece using an M3x10mm screw and
an M3 fiber nut.

Step 4 - Attach the leg piece to the leg servo arm using an M3X10mm screw and
an M3 fiber nut.

Step 5: Insert a Servo into the Servo Holder.

Step 6: Insert the top end of the Servo into the Step 8 - Attach a leg parallel

Body Assembly

Step 11 - Attach the four stem

spacers to the stem bottom
plate using four M3x10mm
screws and four M3 flat nuts.

 Step 12 - Place four servos on the
top of the chassis top plate.

Step 13 - Attach a servo holder to

the top of each servo.

Step 14 - Attach each servo holder

to the chassis top plate using
M3x12mm screws and M3 fibers
nuts.

Step 15 - Attach each leg piece to the stem bottom plate using an M3x10mm
screw and M3 fiber nut. Do not over tighten the screws, it may cause
malfunction of the servos.

Step 16 - Attach the body
bottom plate to the body top
plate using four pieces, using
M3x10mm screws and M3 nuts.

Step 17 - Rotate each leg so

that it is oriented at a 45
degree angle as shown. Install
the leg upper pivot plate.
Mount to each pivot servo and
leg using two M3x10mm
screws and two M3 nuts.

Step 18 - Secure the servo

single arm to the servo using a
servo screw.

Finally, fix the battery

holder to the lower part of
the robot using the plexi
risers.

 Its time top make connections between
Arduino.

Please follow the instructions :

front-left-axis : 2. Pin
front-left-lift : 3. Pin
back-left-axis : 4. Pin
back-left-lift : 5. Pin
back-right-axis : 6. Pin
back-right-lift : 7. Pin
front-right-axis : 8. Pin
front-right-lift : 9. Pin

IR Module : 12. Pin

Connect the servo motors in order starting from the 2nd digital pin to the 9th digital
pin as seen in the circuit diagram. Connect the IR receiver module to the 12th pin as in
the diagram.

Since the spider robot works with more than one servo motor, the power of the arduinon is
insufficient, for this we need to make an external power input.

You need to energize the shild with a minimum 4.8v maximum 5v power supply. It is up to
you what kind of energy you will give, whether with a lipo battery or a pen battery. The
important thing here is that it should not exceed 5 volts, otherwise your Arduino will be
damaged.

I have shared a few battery samples with you below as an example.

If you are going to use a lipo battery type battery on the upper side, you must use
the voltage reducing circuit on the side. Because voltages greater than 5 volts
will damage your card.

As seen in the circuit diagram, it will be sufficient to set the output of the voltage
reducing circuit to 5 volts and attach it to the shield.

13
You can use the batteries included in the set by
connecting them directly to the shield by inserting
them into the 4-battery slot as seen in the connection
diagram at the bottom. Because GP brand batteries
are of good quality, they can give very efficient
voltage output. That's why the spider is a pretty good
power source for the robot.

Software Installation
We have prepared a code for you so that you can move the spider robot without any
problems at first. A few commands are ready in the code, but you can revise it yourself.

 The list of the functions of the IR controller that you will use to move the robot is
given below.

up arrow : forward
down arrow : back

3: increase walking speed
4-
5-
6 : decrease walking speed
7-
8 : dance mode
9-
0 : restore all servos
* : wave to the left
# : wave to the right
These movements defined to the control are the movements defined in the arduino
code before. You can define the idle pins of the controller in the code according to your
own wishes.

Each remote has its own unique ID numbers. In order to introduce your own remote to
your robot, you need to know the ID number of the buttons of your remote. In this, you
need to download the code at the bottom to your Arduino first, learn the ID number of
your remote's keys one by one, and copy it into your main code.
