Sooo im new to robotics and arduino..
But im jumpin in to the deep end.. im inspired by the "BirdBot" from the Max Planck institute.
But i need some advice on what motors/servos to use for a similer setup a s birdbot..?
and im planning to experiment with "Dynamic Stabilization" for when standing still.
and "Gyroscopic Stabilization" when walking. so chances are ihave more quistions in the future...
But for now i just need help to chose the best motors/servos to drive leg movement and "tendent" movement like birdbot.
If any one have ideas.. experience.. or helpfull tips.. im all ears..
Start with 1 robot kit and get it working. Then a different one. You need to build up and understanding before you try such an ambitious project. In the end, you'll save money and frustration.
Actually I feel you are not ready to start the project at this point. We have no idea of your skill set or what resources you have available to you. I would suggest you start with some of the tutorials that are on line, sorry to say some are not so good but many are very good. Start by learning the basics, you need to control outputs and interpret inputs such as reading a switch, receiving a message etc. Start with the LED, they are not expensive and there is even one on most of the Arduinos. At this point you should have also found several tutorials on basic electronics that you have gone through. You should acquire a copy of the Arduino Cookbook and go through that. I have no clue as to how fast you will learn this but it will probably take a few months. During this process you will learn what an IDE is and how to use to generate and upload your code to the Arduino. Let us know how you progress.
So far everyone has said, "Don't skip the basics." It is no different than learning to fly... do you just hop in your first airplane and takeoff? So... show what you can do so you can get the level of advice you can use...
Step one: evaluate your project and break it down to the smallest elements... Your turn.
P.S. The bird has a limp... left side over lifts as it extends.
