Hello everyone A few weeks ago I ordered the CH3-R hexapod. My goal (right now) is to control the hexapod from a PC using Java and to add basic capabilities over time (walking, basic object detection, sensors on the feet etc.). At the moment the software can only make my bot wa…

Nice work. I personally don’t like java. Think its bleh. I prefer C++ to java. You can use DirectX and OpenGL :slight_smile: I like the simulation though, looks very realistic (motion wise). Do you first create a sequence with the program, and then send the commands to the hex?…

I’m using Java as the programming language of choice because I know the language best and the software should run on windows and linux without porting. Java3D is an abstracted library and can run on top of OpenGL or Direct3D, it’s just a matter of setting a flag to switch betwe…

Hello everyone, I added two new videos. The first video shows the highlighting of servos in positions mechanically not possible on the real bot. In this video I also use the new capability to control the angle between the legs. youtube.com/watch?v=lP64iNDrKZQ The second vide…

HEHE! :laughing: Awesome! The best simulation I have ever seen. Is it possible to walk around the waypoint? Meaning that the waypoint is the centerpoint of rotation. Your program are just excellent!

It is already possible to walk around a point while looking at this point when controlling the direction/rotation of the bot manually :smiley: youtube.com/watch?v=mYj_9QjOvOQ I would have to slightly adjust the waypoint mode when the bot should do this automatically. Thanks …

I uploaded a new video showing the simulation with the real hexapod side by side. youtube.com/watch?v=zIJSidNh0yo Martin

OK! I don’t have any words left… VERY IMPRESSIVE!!! So cool! Had to admit, I’m a bit envious… :astonished:

Very nice work :slight_smile: How big is the whole program? All of the files together. OK! I don’t have any words left… VERY IMPRESSIVE!!! So cool! Had to admit, I’m a bit envious… :astonished: I’m envious of both of you =P

Depends what files we count. The runnable compiled program with all data files (3D objects, textures etc.) without required libraries is 1.6MB. Classes only are 300kb but this already contains video processing, steering behaviour and environment classes not used in the demos. …

Impressive! 8)

I have managed to do the same with my excel program. But your solution are so extremely elegant.

Keep up the good work!

Looking forward to see your live walking hexapod!
