The assembled hexapod, top view.
Step 8: Final touches.
Use the Maestro Control Center to find the neutral positions (where the legs are as
symmetrically arranged as possible) as well as their safe minimums and maximums. Set the
neutral positions as the “Go to” values for each servo, and set
Min
and
Max
values so that
your hexapod will never destroy itself. Adjust the angles of the wires so that all six feet touch
the ground in the neutral position, probably by bending the front and back legs to more than
90°.
