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…

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 …

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!

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. …

wow. That ain’t so bad. The C++ Win32 API library I use compiles to about 1.4MB of extra file space :frowning: It sucks… But Windows GUI is really annoying. Borland makes life easier, but I cant find a good object list. Sweet work :slight_smile: Quick question. How is the mode…

The model consists of some OBJ files modeling the individual parts of the bot (in my implementation one leg consist of three seperate OBJ files). But it would also be possible to export the complete bot as one file. In Java3D the complete 3D model is then built using the differ…

You and Zenta do awesome work. Might you be inclined to release your work for others to enjoy? I’d like to check it out, even if I had to pay for it. Thanks!

I didn’t have the time to work on this project for the last few weeks. I just tested the code on my machine on windows (a few weeks back) and now on linux. It seems to work fine but the usual disclaimer applies (no warranty, use at your own risk, etc.). gridvision.ch/robot.zip …

Well, I guess this means it is time for me to learn java!
