SpotMicroAI Basic

This repository is for the people who are just looking to move SpotMicroAI robot with a remote controller.

Before you jump to advanced simulations you can use a simple RaspberryPi for your first build, so you will become familiar with the 3DParts, electronics, code and assembly process.

The parts

To continue, we are going to assume you have at least the following components or very similar ones.

• 12 Servos MG996R 180º
• 1 or 2 PCA9685 (this is configurable in the ~/spotmicroai.json config file)
• DC to DC 5v output step down voltage regulator (a stepdown/stepup converter will give you longer work time)
• BEC 6v output (to feed the servos, if your servos can take your battery max voltage you don't need this component)
• 7.4 or 11.1v batteries with enough current to feed the servos
• A rocker switch
• 16x2 LCD Display Screen with I2C Module Interface Adapter
• RaspberryPi Zero W with headers soldered
• SD card
• XBox one or PS4 remote controller
