Assembly Manual

This assembly manual provides a detailed guide to building the Asimov 0 legs, including the required tools and parts, the assembly process for each module, when and how to perform debugging and testing during assembly, and the basic steps for operating the robot.

1. Tool Lists 🛠️

Allen keys (M2 to M6)

Allen keys (M2 to M6) are used to tighten and loosen hex socket screws during assembly, and this build requires sizes ranging from M2 to M6.

Soldering Iron

A soldering iron is required to connect the electronic components.

Hot air gun

A heat air gun will be used to heat the string. Any standard hot air gun will work, so you can use the one that is most convenient for you.

Wire stripper

A wire stripper is used to remove insulation from the ends of wires so they can be soldered, crimped, or connected to terminals during humanoid assembly. Any standard wire stripper suitable for the wire gauges used in this build.

Label Maker (Optional)

Useful for labeling wires, connectors, and modules to make assembly and debugging easier.

CAN-to-USB Adapter (Optional)

A CAN-to-USB adaptor is important for post-assembly debugging, since it allows direct connection to the motor over CAN bus for testing and verification. You can buy from Waveshare.

Multimeter

A multimeter is used to measure electrical values such as voltage, current, resistance, and continuity. Most multimeters support these basic functions, so any standard one can usually be used.

Crimp tool

A crimp tool is used to attach connectors securely to wires.

2. Get the parts 📦

Before you start building, gather all the required components first. Please review the BOM list in the Bill of Materials to make sure you have every part.

Tip: Group the parts before you begin, such as screws, bolts, wires, actuators, connectors, and mechanical parts. This will help you build faster.

Also make sure you have a basic understanding of the essential parts covered in these hardware chapters:
