Story

The story of Paradox-Asi, is the same as most people, I had an idea. I wanted to make a robot that was not just worn on your shoulder but your head. so I took some time, decided to use my first companion Bot as reference and got to work. The final version of this idea is actually V4 but here is a pic of the transformation.

From mk1 top left to mk4 bottom rght

Okay, first you're gonna need your parts. Most are printed but I also have some things I ordered from Amazon.

some not all of the printed parts

The first thing I wanted to do was make the body, its made out of 3 parts all together, the bottom being the Magnet Cup then the Torso lastly the shoulder plate. since these parts are very small I had to glue them, I used Glue Gloop, its pretty strong and does not leave a stain on the part. I also put the servo in the holder before gluing.

To hold it all together in one piece. The rest is kinda like Legos. While this is glueing I say print out the legs and get them set up and ready for the body.

for legs for

The legs are made out of multiple pieces. the move legs three parts the un moving ones two.

these are the legs that will Move.

If the glue ha dried you can attach these to the body, with one of the pulleys.

It should look something like the photo above.This is also the perfect time to test the pully system. I attached the push and pull sticks to the servo arm this motion give the robot its spider movement.

This is how it should work.

After that the two smaller legs on the side are just for holding the robot on your head they don't move but keep the robot stable.

Currently the project should looks something like this?

Next is the Tail and Head. The head is Just a cup with a L.E.D in it, and I made a small spider shape Cup to fit as the Butt of the robot it also holds the circuit.

I used Adafruit circuit and code from there Zelda Guardian Project: https://learn.adafruit.com/guardian-robot-zelda-botw/circuit-diagram

After you code it and stuff the circuit into the butt of the spider, you're pretty much done, Oh almost forgot the acrylic circle that hides the servo pulley system is just a Lens from a pair of goggles! Haha! Easily purchasable from places like Amazon.

Just some extras things I ran into the tail can be heavy sometimes so you can glue it to the top cover to hold it up. I used hott glue in this instance. I do have legs that connect to the butt to help but sometimes they are not strong enough.

Code

Trinket Servo

// Trinket Servo Monster sketch
// Hardware: Adafruit Trinket (3V or 5V), micro servo, LED + resistor
// Libraries: uses Adafruit_TiCoServo library to manage servo pulses,
// even though NeoPixels are NOT being used here.

#if !defined(__AVR_ATtiny85__)
 #error "This code is for ATtiny boards"
#endif
#include <Adafruit_TiCoServo.h>
#include <avr/power.h>

// Servo parameters.  Pin MUST be 1 or 4 on a Trinket.  Servo position
// is specified in raw timer/counter ticks (1 tick = 0.128 milliseconds).
// Servo pulse timing is typically 1-2 ms, but can vary slightly among
// servos, so you may need to tweak these limits to match your reality.
#define SERVO_PIN  4 // Pins 1 or 4 are supported on Trinket
#define SERVO_MIN  4 // ~1 ms pulse
#define SERVO_MAX 26 // ~2 ms pulse

#define LED_PIN    0 // "Eye" LED is connected here

Adafruit_TiCoServo servo;

void setup(void) {
#if (F_CPU == 16000000L)
  // 16 MHz Trinket requires setting prescale for correct timing.
  // This MUST be done BEFORE servo.attach()!
  clock_prescale_set(clock_div_1);
#endif
  servo.attach(SERVO_PIN);
  pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(LED_PIN, HIGH);
}

uint32_t lastLookTime = 0; // Time of last head-turn

void loop(void) {

  unsigned long t = millis(); // Current time

  // If more than 1/2 second has passed since last head turn...
  if((t - lastLookTime) > 500) {
    if(random(10) == 0) { // There's a 1-in-10 chance...
      // ...of randomly moving the head in a new direction:
      servo.write(random(SERVO_MIN, SERVO_MAX));
      lastLookTime = t;   // Save the head-turn time for future reference
    }
  }

  // Unrelated to head-turn check,
  if(random(10) == 0) { // there's a 1-in-10 chance...
    // ...of an "eye blink":
    digitalWrite(LED_PIN, LOW);  // The LED turns OFF
    delay(random(50, 250));      // for just a short random moment
    digitalWrite(LED_PIN, HIGH); // then back ON
  }

  delay(100); // Repeat loop() about 10 times/second
}
