Update on items purchased and other info

The group met earlier this week to further discuss the project, and to start the programming of the spider. Our RF M4 Reciever, 315MHz momentary type, recently arrived and we made a quick video to demonstrate how it will work. The receiver is connected to the breadboard, which uses the arduino board as the power source, and we have each button light up an LED.

The key fob that came with the receiver has 4 buttons, and we plan on having each button control all servos at once. The four buttons will control the forward, backward, left, and right movements of the spider. We also ordered about 30 micro bearings which recently came in. Although, we are still waiting for the servos we ordered to arrive. We need the dimensions of these servos in order to submit our final design of the spider to be 3D printed. Another post with the final designs of the spider, the coding for the spider, and other updates on the project are soon to come.
