Hi, I have been working on a small 4 legged robot using Robotis Dynamixel AX-12+ networked servos and a custom built on board computer to be controlled via WiFi from ai software running on a desktop computer. If anyone is interested in checking out the progress, I have been working on a web site and a blog at
Looks good so far. Are the eyes functional?

Very cool! And a really nice workshop!
What CAD software did you use to create the slick graphics ? I'm currently doing a CNC conversion, too, and it's more involved than I had hoped, but not too bad overall.
Keep us posted ! JCD
Thanks, A good worksh> Looks good so far. Are the eyes functional?
The cameras are modules which have the image sensor and an IC which performs JPEG compression and handles a TTL serial interface. The serial interface means it is very easy to run into the micro, however it is very slow, so the frame rate and image size are very limited.
image. I have tested the cameras on the bench with two different bits of software, one which comes from the manufacturer, and another off the web somewhere, and the cameras seem to work well. I have a protocol document, and although some people on the web have reported difficulties getting them going, I figure if I run into problems I can just 'spy' on the raw communications to/from the camera with the manufacturer's software to pinpoint any troublesome areas of the protocol.
The real difficulty will be managing the streaming data across the wifi link whilst maintaining the other functions of the robot, and that might require some fancy software.
Hi,
What modules are you using for the cameras?

The cameras are C328 modules purchased from electronics123.com.
