This repository holds my version of “Spot Micro” which was originated by Thingiverse user “KDY0523”.
Why the name "Spek1"? The work "Speck" means a small spot. and this robot is inspired by Boston Dynamic's "Spot", but this robot is much small. It is a smaller Spot. Then the leter "c" is removed. The number "1" is added to imply that there coud be a series of these robots.
There are many Spot Micro projects on the Internet. They are all derived from the same KDY0523 original. I wanted a project that could incorporate some of the best ideas from other Spot Micro versions, plus some of my own ideas. One of my main goals was to make a modifiable design. I wanted modular and swapable parts.
The CAD files were all re-drawn, but retain the look and dimension of the original as much as possible.
This Spot Micro uses a Raspberry Pi4 running Ubuntu Linux as the controller. But the electronics are mounted to a tray and can be sapped out as a pre-wired unit, battery, power supplies, computer and all.
You can simply 3D print all the STL files and install the software on the Pi4 and you will in theory have a copy of my latest version. Detailed instructions for doing this are in other documents in this repository.
