Build Kame32, an 8-servo ESP32 robot dog

Quad, Easy

Kame32 is an open-source, 3D-printable quadruped on an ESP32 with 8 servos and a custom PCB. It walks, runs, and switches gaits under Wi-Fi control.

Javier Isabel's Kame32 is a compact maker quadruped: two servos per leg, printed body, and a PCB that keeps the wiring tidy. Control it wirelessly from a phone or laptop. The community already remixes it (for example a 'disco mode' dance fork from MakeSpace Madrid). It's trending on X this week as a weekend robot-dog build.

Hardware & cost: An ESP32, 8 micro servos, the Kame32 PCB, a battery and printed parts. Typically well under $100 in hobby parts.

Difficulty: Easy to medium. Some soldering for the PCB.

Agent install prompt (paste into Claude Code, Cursor or Codex): "Clone https://github.com/JavierIH/kame32, list the printed parts and electronics, set up the ESP32 toolchain, flash the firmware, and show me how to send walk and run commands over Wi-Fi."
