MicroHex is a small hexapod robot that is designed to be affordable and easy to build using easy to source components.  It is a great project for beginners, however, the Raspberry Pi Pico W that I use as a micro controller supports WiFi and Bluetooth so there are plenty of more advanced software development opportunities as well.

I haven't finished writing the software for it yet. Once it is finished, I plan to publish a link to it here. There is plenty of documentation for how to setup a Pi Pico so you can get started with your own software.

Schematic:

Parts*:

• Raspberry Pi Pico W

• 18x MG90S micro servos

• 72x M2x8 Self tapping screws

• 5v Buck converter

• 2 pole terminal block (optional)

• Power switch (optional)

• Jumper wires (optional)

I still consider this a work in progress as I have denoted it as v1.0.  I will likely continue to develop this design and I welcome the community to modify this design as well.  If you want to follow the development, consider subscribing to my YouTube channel as I tend to post project updates there.
