wiring instructions

Hi,

I’m sure you guys are busy with everything - I was wondering when the rest of the instructions(leg assembly, electronics, centering servos, etc.) would follow?

I have the body built based on the body instructions and pictures of the leg, but not sure how to wire them up to the board?

Thanks in advance!

We should be posting the full assembly guides in the next couple of days. Stay tuned!

Fantastic, can’t wait!

Any news on this? I just got the legs installed and I could get them wired from the wiring photo, but I’m unsure on the rest of the build procedure and would prefer documentation over just winging it.

any updates on wiring?

What wiring information are you looking for? The only confusion I had at all was the orientation of the connectors on the high-numbered side of the board, and the board is labeled to make that inferable.

There are complete step-by-step build instructions and wiring guides at:

Apparently I fail at reading instructions… Thanks!

Now I just need to figure out the pin-out for the gpio ports and where the blue tooth module plugs in.

Here’s a post about the Bluetooth module, it has a nice picture showing how it plugs in.

I think you have to install that library he references to get it to work, but I do get pretty flashing lights when it’s plugged in :slight_smile:

I’m just full of fail today… asking for things I should of seen in the instructions, and stuff a simple search of the forum would have turned up…

looks like the pinout is on the underside of the board…as shown here:

thanks for the patience with dumb questions

No such thing as a dumb question considering we’re all learning and the documentation is quite sparse and decentralized.

For my part, I’ll be editing the Hexy wiki on Github today or tomorrow to collect the getting started material into one place.

So far, I’ve got the following outline in mind:

  1. Assembly: Link to MakeProjects.com article
    1a. Include details on connecting Bluetooth & Ping Sensor
  2. Loading Firmware
  3. Getting Started with PoMoCo
    3a. Launching on Mac (someone else would need to provide Windows instructions)
    3b. Calibrating Servos via Offsets
  4. Miscellaneous:
    4a. Link off to any community projects
    4b. Hardware & Software Hacks
    4c. Troubleshooting
