I got one of these Hexapods; really fair price for such a complex model !
Took me some three (not full) days and it works perfectly. Can be controlled either by the included transmitter, via laptop or via tablet.
On top this creature is offering a 2 x 8 pin socket with direct connection to the Arduino 2560, so that additional sensors, such an ultrasonic distance sensor or tentacle can easily be implemented.
Since the Hexapod is operating by open-source software (easily downloaded from Freenove), users are welcome to modify their own versions, e.g. for above sensor options.
Summary:
- A kit with precisely fitting pieces, a detailed illustrated manual and really enough screws, nuts, etc..
- Not to forget the rapid and caring support - directly by the developer's experts.
- In fact an example for other manufacturers how such a product should look like !
P.S. I am not correlated with Freenove - is just my personal and independent opinion about a great product.
Thank you for your comment! We are very happy that you like our products and services. We will continue to work hard to do better!
what would u say is the bast way to get the paper stuff off the printed parts ?
This is aweasome. I'll be ordering one.
Thank you!
I adore this, this is almost exactly what I want to build. Quick question though, I would love to expand it such that it could follow a specific person or be voice controlled, or better yet, both.
Thank you. It is great idea. It would be difficult. You may need add another controller. Or use the integrated solution, like WIFI wireless camera. It has indepent system.
@@Freenove I already planned on making an ai assistant through raspberry pi, would it be possible to link up a communication method between the hub Pi and the robot? In that case I could use the ai already integrated into the hub to send commands to the robot using a unique command structure. Such as naming the robot specifically and specifying a command. If I could figure out a locator beacon of some sort I could specify more than one and locate one at a charging station, so saying go home would send it there ready to charge. Just a thought kicking around in my head.
@@boredgoddess5621 It is great and it is a big challenge. You can refer to the processing app serial port way. Then you can get robot connected to Raspberry Pi and control robot via serrial port.
@@Freenove Ohh I think I got ya. I need to get a few things set up first but once I am sorted on the other projects I will start work on this one. Thank you!
Hi. Do you sell the controller board separately? If yes, I was wondering if we could print the chassis using a 3D printer. It would be wonderful! Are you planning to release STL files for 3D printing some day? In your profile on Thingiverse, for example? Thanks in advance!
Hi! Thank you very much for your interest in Freenove products. I'm very sorry that we haven't sold this control board separately at our online store yet. Please send our support team (support@freenove.com) an email and we will find a way to let you get it. And we will also send you the STL files so you can print it.
I ordered one :) this spider looks AMAZING!
I got a question tho, can I add an obstacle avoidance sensor (Like an IR module)?
Hi! Thank you for your order. There is no problem in adding some simple modules, such as the infrared module you mentioned. If you have difficulties in implementing it, you can always contact us for help.
@@Freenove thanks!
@@sergiplanes You are welcome! Please contact us again if there is anything we can do for you.
Hello, how do you let it loop an action and switch at any time? I tried it many times and can only do an action once or loop this action without stop when it gets a data
Hi, you can use a variable to record data, then use the following code form:
void loop() {
int data = getData();
if(data > number)
{
action();
}
}
In this case, the robot will only be moved when the data is greater than "number".
You can send your idea and code to our support team, we will help you with it.
It looks great. I want to get one.
Thank you! This product will be available on our online store in a few days.
I have been wanted to add a camera? How can that exactly be done or it's not possible yet to have camera on this exapod?
Hi! Here is a simple and easy way. You can use a wireless camera that works independently, the kind used on drones. No programming is required.
Hi, could you please tell me why my kit has extra white plastic details, supplied with engine.
Only the disc servo arm is needed. Others are spare.
Hi I bought your Hexapod robot kit but I can't seem to be able to install the drivers on it how do I put the control board on installation mode if y
Hi! Please don't worry, we will help you with any questions. Please contact our support team, you can find the way on the card in the product box.
y lovin it
Thanks!
I order à model on amazon 😋✌️
Thank you! Please enjoy it.
Going to get this as a family project!
Is it possible to upgrade those servos to a brushless variety?
Hi! I am afraid this is difficult. The servo currently used is relatively small and there seems to be no other motors that can be matched.
@@Freenove I have the same question regarding the servos is it possible now to upgrade the servos with brushless ones?
@@sipher6 Hi! It may still be difficult. The shape of these motors is different, you may have to change its structure.
Hi, I just bought this model, it looks so amazing !!! I would like to add a camera module to it in order to have live video feedback. Is this possible? If yes, which camera module is compatible ? Thank's
Hi! Thank you for choosing Freenove. If you want to add a camera, I'm afraid you need to add a more powerful control board such as Raspberry Pi.
Raspberry Pi supports most cameras with USB interface, you can open a camera monitoring window. Then you can connect the robot to the Raspberry Pi through the USB interface, and use the ProcessingApp to control the robot by remote login.
good i read this before adding the control board :D
@@jonathan-._.- Please let me know if there is anything else I can help. ;-)
@@Freenove well my rpi doesnt have enough gpio ports for all the motors and i found a gpio port extender online - but im not sure if i can address the xtended ports individually if i use that
is coding necessary for this product? or will i only need to code if i want it to do automated tasks
You can download tutorial here:
github.com/Freenove/Freenove_Hexapod_Robot_Kit/archive/master.zip
Coding is not necessary to build it. We provide basic code. It is needed for your own task.
I want to order this but not available on Amazon how to get this .. please help
Where are you from?
What are the servos used in these
The servos used in this robot are 180°, 12g servos.
What batteries do you recommend i buy for this
Hello, this robot needs 14500 batteries. You can find the more information in AboutBatttery.pdf of the unzip resource.
@@Freenove how many batteries?
@@AlexandruSerbanshareban This one needs two batteries.
I just both this hexapod with the remote, Can I add a battery pack that has a weight of 700 grams?
the battery pack has 8 x 18650 cells with electronics, I'm worried that the hexapod cannot handle the weight.
It can carry 1kg load.
@@Freenove Thanks for the info I'm waiting for the hexapod to arrive in the philippines, best hexapod I found in amazon at a reasonable price keep it up.
Nice Kit 👍
Is it possible to run Phoenix Code on it?
H! Thank you for your interest.
After learning about the Phoenix robot, we think it is more difficult to run its code because of their circuit and structure differences.
You may need to make a lot of changes to the code, so we don't recommend this.
Please contact us again if there is any other information we can provide.
@@Freenove Ok, thank you
Very cool!
Thank you!

Hello, i have the kit and i really like it. I assembled the robot and now i'm at the part of controlling the robot wirelessly. I can't seem to connect to the robot via wifi or with the remote. When i turn on the robot and the remote it connects and when I press a button on the remote it disconnects.
Hi! Please don't worry. We will help you until the problem is solved.
We need more information to know this issue. Please send us (email: support@freenove.com) a short video.
Thank you for your patience!
@@Freenove I have sent an email with a video,
Thanks for helping me.
@@simonvandenbulcke3840 Thank you for your video. My colleague has received your email, we will reply you as soon as possible.
@@Freenove When i fully charged the battery's and connected the remote to USB, i still had the same problem.
@@simonvandenbulcke3840 This is a little strange, we need some time to study this problem. We may not be able to answer you until the next working day. You can first try whether you can use Serial to control the robot.
bonjour je viens de le monter et impossible de le démarrer je n'arrive pas a le programmer peut tu m'aider svp
Dear customer, I'm very sorry that we only provide English service at present. Please don't worry, we will help you solve any problems. Please send an email with a description of the problem to our support team (support@freenove.com). We will reply to you within one working day.
Hi, just bought the kit and now I try to figure out what battery to use.
Could you tell me how much payload the robot can handle reasonably, since I would like use a lager batterypack and add a plastic chasis.
I thought about 8,4V 3000mAh NiMH battery with 390g weight.
Or if possible 5000mAh with 517g like www.amazon.de/FCONEGY-NiMH-Akku-5000mAh-Traxxas-Batterie/dp/B07PHJNJ4T
Also you recommend batterys whitout own protection, does the board handle the protection especially deep discharge protection?
Hi! Yes, you can use other 7.4V batteries. But we recommend the weight of the battery should not exceed 100g, otherwise the life of the servos will be reduced. Please contact our support team (support@freenove.com), we will send you some pictures about how to connect battery. The robot will disconnect the power of all the servos if the battery voltage are too low to protect the battery.
Is this available in India
Hi! Yes, you can buy this robot on eBay and ship it to India. www.ebay.com/itm/302886264722
can I script its movements using python?
Hi! This robot is based on Arduino, so you can use C/C++ to write code for it directly. You can also write a program in any language (Python, Java, C#, etc.) on your computer to remotely control this robot by sending commands to it through serial port or Wi-Fi. We provide a program (Peocessing App) written in Java. You can see it in the video.
If you want to control the robot by writing programs on the computer using Python, you can only use the actions we have written, not customize them.
stick a solar panel on its back and make a router turtle
It is a good idea.
Is it rc? Whoops should've watched the whole video
Yes, you can control this robot remotely with:
1. Laptop or desktop computer with Wi-Fi adapter. (Run Windows, Mac or Linux, including Raspberry Pi)
2. Android phone or tablet. (Run Android 4.2 or later)
3. Remote control. (Freenove Remote Control Kit, FNK0028)
We offer two versions of this robot. One with remote control and the other without. They are already available on Amazon:

I am living in Ukraine and how can I buy it my friend
Hi, we can ship products to Ukraine. Our support team has received your mail and will show you how.
Sorry I Need the password of wifi ESP8266 how could I get?
I want to use the android app.
I have the 6 legs freenove robot
When I go to connecting the wifi from my phone, it said enter the password ?
What is the password? Pls
Hi! The password is "Freenove" (case sensitive). It is mentioned in the tutorial, but it seems that it has not been placed in a prominent position. We will optimize it on the next update.
JUMP?
Sorry, its motor cannot provide enough power to make it do this. But it may be worth a try.
@@Freenove do you have a jump code in arduino?
@@alexshel8578 Hi! It seems that I misunderstood Jump Code. Can you tell me what it is?
@@alexshel8578 Hi! Thank you for the video. So it is indeed a jump. Sorry this robot cannot do this due to the limitation of its motor. This robot uses small motors so that it cannot provide enough torque for the robot to jump up. As you can see in the video you provided, they used very large motors. Thank you for telling us a good idea, maybe it's worth a try.
bonjour a tous j en possède un il est juste super
Thank you.
Is this product compatible with a raspberry pi 400?
Hi! You can use your Raspberry Pi 400 as a wireless controller. We provide a client can run on Raspberry Pi.
