Hello Ryan, I’m from India and currently pursuing a degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering. It’s inspiring to see your work, and I aspire to reach your level someday.
awesome as always, keep them coning! love all the hex changes too! :) It was good to see behind the scenes with the new setup and the move included, liked the new editing approach. Was hyped when I saw it dropped lol shame I was at work but I looked forward to watching it when I got home. Lol
I don't need it but I'm definitely buying the kit. I tried this 2 years ago but failed due to cheap, constantly breaking servo's and such. This looks sick, great work!
Awesome video and build. I admire your patience and determination with the tedious programing of the controller UI. I opt for the most utilitarian alternative when it comes to things like that on my projects. Your have inspired me to reconsider how I approach that stage of a build. This is a great example of how it can pay off beautifully! Subscribed!
Hello, your movies are very inspiring! I am extremely impressed with your hexapod. Can i ask about how log your robot working on 1 full charge battery?
Nice editing, gets better every video. Do you know how long it took you to design make the controller? I assume it's 100 hrs+ (probably much more), it looks really good! BTW I also hot glued the switch and it melted when I was using the hexapod a lot, but I probably used a wire that wasn't thick enough.
Thank you so much man, this one took such a long time to edit 🫠 That's a great question. It's hard to say, but yeah designing + programing was probably 150-200 hours in total. To be fair though i started this in mid-December, 2023.... LOL, live and ya learn 🤣 (correct, it will get very hot if your wires arent thick enough, although you may have also been overusing the hex)
Well done, you have come a long way from when I first saw your videos, I thought you had just disappeared. Your 3D modelling skills are so much better now. If that aluminium case is printed solid you may be able to save the sides. You could either cut off the tabs and hope the screws are enough to hold it or you could use a dremel (or mill or probably also a drill press) to make the slots in the side pieces. You mentioned the kit being possibly $100. Is that including the servos? The servos have been by far the most expensive bit of mine costing over £200 alone. So is this the end of the hexapod project or do you intend to continue to improve it?
@@conorstewart2214 @conorstewart2214 thank you so much man, I really appreciate that 🙂 Yeah I did disappear for a bit... But I'm back now! I'm not really interested in saving the sides. Frankly the black 3d printed ones feel and look better than if the entire thing was aluminum (although maybe im just coping but oh well) Man I guess I really didn't make this clear. The current kit I'm talking about is to build the remote control that this video is about. The kit to build the hexapod that's in the video will be around 600 dollars (hard to say atm though) This is 100% not the end of the hexapod! It just made sense to release the controller related content first, because if I release a hexapod kit without a controller then no one would be able to control it 😂
Will the kit really contain all electronic components, servos, pcbs,... Everything you need to build the hexapod minus the printed parts for only 100$? If yes, thats a steal. Will you do international shipping? Please do so. If yes, I will definitely order one. And thanks for your great Work!
@@tobias1170 That's correct, although it also probably won't include the 9 volt either. Keep in mind this is a kit for just the remote control, which does not include the hexapod. Hopefully that was obvious. Ill ship anywhere in the world! But shipping will be added to the overall cost. I don't really know how much shipping will cost atm but I can't imagine it being too much since the kit will be physically very small.
@@AecertRobotics In the first moment of excitement, I really thought I would also include the hexapod. But I suspected otherwise, because 100$ seemed way to low, even with my non existing experience with buying servos and manufacturing PCBs. Do you plan to release a kit for the hexapod too? If yes, can you already give a rough number on what it will cost? I think the remote control only makes sense with the hexapod, so a ballpark figure would be good enough to check if it also fits in the budget. If yes, I would be happy to use the waiting time to build the remote control.
@@tobias1170 Yeahhh i mean the servos alone will cost around mid 200's. I do plan to release a hexapod kit! My best guess is around 600, but it's hard to say atm. And it will not be including the battery, which can be pricey. I strongly disagree that the remote only makes sense with the hexapod! You'll be able to use it to control anything that uses the nrf24L01 chip! The idea with this controller is that you'll now have something to control all of your projects with. Obviously right now the homepage is coded for the hexapod, but that can be easily changed. Totally understand not wanting to build a controller with nothing to control though 😅
Hi, I see that you have an automatic table for the height. They say that it's not really healthy when you stand while working, I thought it was healthier than sitting at a desk at first...but its the opposite apparently! Do some research on that.... Good luck with your channel!
@@yoursfithfully047 Platformio, visual studio code, the u8g2 library, and Godot for the mockup. I would highly recommend checking out the GitHub to see exactly what libraries I used though.
If you buy the kit, i will have the code pre installed onto the mega. Mostly to make sure the mega im shipping in the kit isnt a dud. The code is also freely available on my GitHub, which is linked in the description!
@@osmanpasha_diy ahh gotcha, that was Godot! Not really a 1 to 1, but it was a nice way to visualize the layout and flow of what I wanted. Check out the first video in this series of you want to see more of what i did with that.

Let me know below if you'd be interested in buying the kit for the RC Transmitter!
Definitely interested!
i would be interested in the electronics, i have a printer to make the rest my self
If the kit is for the transmitter and hexapod electronics I would be interested!

Yep
I would love to build one. This one seems to have the smoothest motion of all hexabods on youtube.
I’m so happy you’re back!!!

Thank you so much, that means a lot
I am so hype with this serie ❤❤❤
Awesome work. With your whole setup, controller, bot, desk and all.
I really like the vlog style of this video! I might be biased, but 1:40 is my favorite part 😂
That part was just for you 😂
Congrats on finishing the project and moving houses
Thank you!
Bro!!! this is the craziest thing I have ever watched bro! The way you do streams of progress of the project is also very helpful

Great job! Can't wait to order the Kit!
I will absolutely buy a kit!
I'd love to buy the kit. it'd be quite fun to build and mess around with after
definitely interested, looks like a super fun build!
FOR 100 BUCKS? thats lirerlally a steal. count me in (btw im techtim, idk why youtube doesnt show that)
ikr
It would be awsome if you started making tutorials!
About the battery. You can use 4 diods and then you could put battery in every rotate and get power :)
@@MZ-main yeahhh apparently there are some solutions to that, but I think the best one is to just put the battery related things in the correct way 🤣
You pay for it with the voltage drop though.
add an intro when you turn on the controllers
Def interested in the kit!
youuh, that´s really epic, love the metal casing, at part of the electric problems xD
The best !!!! Amazing ...
bro!!! that is really cool!!!
The handles should be printed from TPU with some cushy infill like Gyroid! ♥
I can only imagine coding this thing.
One day i would love to be at ur level
Hell yes kit kit kit kit 🎉🎉🎉
Would be interested in the details of the kit
Awesome.
