So little time....

I'm going to get around to posting the laser plans for the hexapod and posting updates info on the compass project I swear but I have been having job interviews and visiting universities and just generally running around.
Trust me driving to Plymouth from Brighton for an open day is not fun. Plymouth uni is doing some seriously scary cool stuff with robotics though, if you ever get a chance to check out their department, do.

So I finally got the parts to put the hexapod together, need to get some beefier servos to replace the lifting ones on this since these can only just manage it. Besides that one hicup it's going well. I need to tweek the design just the tiniest little bit and then I can post the files. The controller works fine too, I'm using a roboduino nano and that's hooked up to Texas Instruments TLC5940. The tlc5940 is a 16 channel pwn chip, mainly used for leds but it can run servos too, there is even a software library http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Learning/TLC5940.
