+# Nova SM2 - a Spot-Mini Micro clone
+![Nova-SM2](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cguweb-com/Arduino-Projects/main/Nova-SM2/Nova-SM2.jpg)  
+This github project contains the 3D STL files, parts list, electrical diagrams, and the software for my spot-mini clone project, Nova Spot Micro  
+
+These files were not created with public consumption in mind, and are constantly under development, so use at your own risk!  
+
+A list of links (yes, Amazon affiliate links!) to all of the hardware components used can be found below for this project.  
+
+I'd be happy to answer any questions, and/or receive any type of feedback... happy hacking!

+##    
+### RELEASE NOTES  
+
+      - Arduino mega performance: 42% storage / 57% memory
+      - commented code for github release
+      - updated NovaServos after recalibrating servos
+      - added serial commands for testing servos / legs
+
+
+##    
+### DEV NOTES  
+      - [ ] BUG: during testing routines, on abrupt change of routine, ramping hangs, stepping every +/-1000ms
+      - [ ] re-calibrate servo home positions to balance Nova's COG!! seems to be back-heavy
+      - [ ] x_axis: tweak pattern, adjusting use of move_steps to not near fall over backwards on startup
+      - [ ] finish tweaking left and right stepping
+      - [ ] finish forward step (w/ left, right, backwards!)
+      - [ ] write a stable fixed speed / step walking routine
+      - [ ] fix 'stay' routine (ie: tends to fall backward when coming off of kneel or sit positions into stay)
+
+      see **DEV NOTES** in code comments for more bugs/tasks
