1. Overview

I made a biped robot with the smallest M5Atom series M5Atom Matrix in the M5Stack series.
NX18_01
NX18_04 NX18_05

2. Components

1)M5Atom Matrix
2)Servo TowerPro MG90D x6
3)Battery Lithium Ion 16340(With protection circuit)x13
4)PCA9685Servo driver board
5)DCDC board LXDC55
6)Ultrasonic distance sensor HC-SR04

The wiring is as follows.
Connection

3. About M5Atom

I wrote about M5StickC on my blog, so please see here.

4.Designed by Fusion360

I used Fusion 360 for structural design.
NX18_02

Also, I put the STL for 3D printed parts on GitHub, so please refer to it.

5.Assembly

The contents were pushed in like this.
NX18_06 NX18_07 NX18_08

Servo cables are cut and bundled.
NX18_09

5.Control App for macOS

This time I created the motion using my own macOS application.
NX18_10
NX18_11

6.Control by Dabble

This time, the control uses the iPhone application called Dabble.
I wrote about Dabble onmy blog, so please refer to it.

7.Sketch

I wrote a detailed sketch on Github, so please refer to that.

Walking motion sketch Github

8.Motion check

It can be operated with Dabble to walk back and forth, walk left and right, and swing left and right.

It can move back and forth, left and right, turn left and right continuously

Added motion to avoid obstacles with ultrasonic distance sensor
