Quadruped Spider Robot Kit

This kit was more complicated than I was expecting. I bought primarily because my boys love robotics but also they are slightly scared of spiders and I thought this would be a great way to learn and perhaps squash their fear. Everything we needed was in the kit and the instructions were very clear for 90% of the time (trial and error for some sections). Once up and running we are able to control this from our laptop which is very cool. The control screen is written in python so you can add your own features and change the interface as you wish. On the whole this was a great purchase and would buy more of these in the future. Things I would change - the backing on the plastic parts is crazy hard to peel (My wife seemed to enjoy this so not a problem for me) - The instructions could be a little clearer in certain sections - I think a follow on guide which takes you through adding more features should be included. For example, Would be good to provide a guide on how to add a series of commands and then create a button on the control page to execute. - Camera is the picam 1. I think this unit would benefit on better optics for object recognition. I am comfortable with python so was happy to jump in... might be difficult for no-coders Great little bot and my boys love it so win for me. They named it Spike the spider :)

Need a manual

Love this product, got it as a Christmas present, fun to build and great fun to play with. I managed to add a night vision camera very easily. This was my first attempt at one of these kits and I highly recommend it, will definitely be trying some of the others. It says it comes without batteries but I got some in with it after buying some separate, not really a problem but could save someone a few quid although I can't say if they all have batteries in 🤔

I bought this for a fun project to do during lockdown. My partner and I both code and it looked like a fun start to robotics. First, the instructions are very poorly written and in fact the old instructions were replaced on the website with new ones that were even more opaque. So don't give this to anyone under say, 16. And make sure you're prepared to work out the wifi connections with a network finding tool as well. But it's built now, and we find that it's completely unclear what batteries will work with this. My partner buys one set based on the specs described in the instructions. They don't fit. There's nothing in the Amazon listing suggesting what we should buy. He's found a set that may be the right batteries, it's unclear, but they are £30 for a pair so if he's wrong we've got an expensive and useless set of batteries. Why it couldn't have come with a rechargeable battery pack given the special requirements is a mystery. We've now tried to use the USB to power it as you're supposed to be able to. Turns out, it needs more voltage than standard USB plugs provide. None of the many we have in the house will work. The thing just keeps cycling. So at this point, it's an expensive model sitting on a shelf. Disappointing to say the least.

The supplied code and instructions don't work and we still have not had a response from the company i built it with my son but we could never get the code to work so it's a good doorstop now

It seems after removing all the sticky packaging and checking to see if i have all the parts but it seems that the legs have been miss cut as i have 5 legs without servo holes and 3 with holes. After speaking with the company it was decided they would send me a new one out due to the missing parts. I have now got all the parts i need and changed my rating to 5 stars.

The possibilities seem endless. We spend hours building new code and making the robot do different tricks. Fantastic for creativity.

My order came with 2x 18650 batteries so no need to provide your own (i have a load already from dismantling old laptop batteries). assembly was ok if you are used to lego. the initial positioning of the servo motor arms is important if you want it to walk right, but you can loosen the scews and detach the servo arms (that link to the legs) to correct this. The software was fairly easy to set up, but I have experience with RPi tinkering. I want to use this to learn Python. I'd love to make one of those walking flowerpots or a walking security camera! the sero control board has space to add more servos, and sensors such as a depth sensor.

جاتني الاغراض ناقصة وتاخروم علي بالتسليم

Dieser DarkPaw ist meine zweiten Roboter von Adeept. Ich habe gut mit Rasptank geklappt und fand auch dieser cool. Die Spinne passt auch gut mit meiner Raspberry Pi 4B, genauso wie Rasptank. Raspberry Pi wird mit Roboter HAT erst zusammengesetzt und vertikal aufgestellt. Dadurch werden alle Anschlüsse des Raspberry Pi von oben leicht erreichbar. Man kann einfach Stromkabel sowie HDMI mit dem Raspberry Pi verbinden lassen und geleichzeitig die Spinne laufen lassen. Das ist sehr praktisch, wenn man das Programm debuggt. Werkzeuge inkl. Schraubenzieher und Schrauben sind in der Box. Akkus und Raspberry Pi (u. Mirco SD, Stromkable, HDMI…dafür) muss man noch selbst schaffen. Am Anfang habe ich ein sehr günstiges Set von vier Akkus und Charger Online gekauft, aber die sind kaputt gegangen in eine Woche. Ich nutze jetzt das Akku 18650 von Saturn…15 Euro für ein Stück. …teuer aber robuster. Ich war mich vorher unschlüssig, ob ich eine Metall-Roboter kaufen soll, oder Adeept. Da ich nicht sicher war, ob dieser Plastik-Roboter gut aussehen würde. Allerdings meine Erwartungen wurden bei weitem übertroffen. Die Bauteile passen perfekt zusammen. Die sind aus Plastik aber sehr hochwertig und leicht. (um dem Servomotor nicht zu überlasten). Die Schrauben, die von außen gesehen werden können, sind auch schwarz lackiert. Es gibt drei Servomotoren auf jeden Fuß, d.h. insgesamt 12. Die Füße sind fein strukturiert, die sehr viel unterschiedlichen Posen ermöglichen. Es war nicht sehr schwer, die Spinne zu bauen. Da die alle vier Füße analogisch gebaut werden können. Aber muss man schon aufpassen, dass die Füße an vier verschiedene Richtungen orientieren sollen. (schon im Handbuch geschrieben…ich habe den Hinweis einfach übersehen und falsch gebaut.. T - T) Das ca. 150 Seiten Handbuch findet man auf der Homepage des Adeept. Die Software-Installation des Raspberry Pi ist auch schon dabei. Bevor ich Rasptank kaufte, habe ich weder Ahnung von Mikrocontroller noch von Linux. Mit dem Handbuch habe ich Schritt nach Schritt alles gut geschafft. Klar, muss man sich schon paar Tage damit beschäftigen und das Handbuch sehr genau angucken. (Es gibt auch viele Video-Tutorien auf der Homepage, die haben mir viel mitgebracht.) Insgesamt würde ich sagen, der Adeept-Roboter ist schon anfängerfreundlich. Ich kann den Roboter diejenige empfehlen, die anfangen wollen, Python oder OpenCV zu lernen und gleichzeitig Spaß machen wollen.

El robot Adeept DarkPaz me venía con 5 piezas sin agujero para servo y 3 piezas con agujero para servo, por lo cual solo podía montar 3 de las 4 patas del robot quedando totalmente inutilizable este, la verdad es que es una pena, el articulo cumple bastante mis expectativas pero recibir esto y darme cuenta después de montar una de sus patas, que no podré seguir con el y estaré a la espera de que me resuelvan la incidencia es totalmente frustrante, ya no por el dinero invertido si no por el tiempo que hay que dedicarle a este aparato. Si me resuelven la incidencia prontamente cambiaré mi valoración. Un saludo.

Molto bello da montare e poi anche effetto finale

Il kit difetta della scheda madre, quindi oltre a questo costo, avrei dovuto spendere altri € 80,00 per comprare la scheda madre...sperando che fosse quella giusta visto che sulle istruzioni non è specificata la memoria. Un'altra cosa: sempre sulle istruzioni c'è scritto che non ci sono le batterie e invece ci sono. In definitiva chi decide di acquistare questo kit deve preventivare l'acquisto a parte della scheda made e anche di un caricabatterie adatto per le batterie al litio.: altre € 100,00 circa.
