ArduSnake: Arduino Modular Snake Robots Library
De WikiRobotics
Contenido
Introduction
Ardusnake is an Arduino Library for generating easily the locomotion of modular snake robots. It is based on sinusoidal oscillators which drive the servos.
Architecture
The ArduSnake library comprises the following layers:
- Oscillators: This layer is in charge of oscillating the servos sinusoidally. Just with these oscillations the locomotion of worm, snakes and other modular robots can be achieved.
- Worm: It offers an easy API for the locomotion of worm robots (locomotion in 1D) (alpha stage)
- Snake: Locomotion of snake modular robots (in 2D) (Future work, not yet implemented)
- User Application: The user can use the previous layers for the locomotion of the robot.
Tutorial
The first task is to install the ArduSnake library. Please follow these instructions.
Oscillators Layer
Example 1: Hello world
Example 2: Setting the oscillator parameters
Example 3: Oscillation of two servos
Example 4: A mini-wave
Download
| ArduSnake-001.zip | ArduSnake sources. Version 001 |
Installation
The current version is being developed under Arduino 22 IDE. It may work with newer version, but I have not tried it.
- Download the library: ArduSnake-001.zip
- Uncompress it in your working directory
- Copy the folder ArduSnake under the sketchbook/libraries arduino folder (it is located in your home directory)
- If you are using the skymega board instead of an Arduino, copy the folder skymega under /home/sketchbook/libraries
- Launch the Arduino 22 IDE
- The menu Ardusnake containing some example should be accesible now from the File/Examples menu
Changelog
- Ardusnake 001: Initial version
