Besides too ambitious of course…
Is it possible that you have the the left and right servos swapped. All of our documentation refers to left and right as it pertains to the robot. So the robots left side is on the right if you are looking at it from the front. I’m still trying to work out why it’s working, and I agree it seams odd. 
Will check the servo wiring and code…
Noop. double checked and definitely not the wiring or servo references in the code!?!?! I must be overlooking something I guess.
I am gonna make a video of it moving…and walking perhaps in a few so you can check it out. One quick one, i would like to invert te pan servo’s for the abdomen and head…preferably in the code. I really don’t want to rotate the actualservo’s now. But i am not sure where to change it.
Small update, it’s getting better every day… made a video of it and doesn’t look al that bit. Bit of tweaking left.
Only thing is that when walking, in the ‘big step mode’ the steps are just a bit to big.
And thank you for all your support up to now, never imagined it moving and walking within 3 days. Only one mystery left, the reversed femurservo’s.
Or perhaps the video gives you a clue as to what’s going on…
That looks almost perfect to me. The only issue is the head and tail rotation is reversed. It’s interesting to see it walking with the long legs. It appears the 645’s are keeping up. 8)
Yes, pretty near perfect. About the tibia’s. Right now i am using 135 mm instead of 150 mm…hey, i’ve been listening to advice. Only thing i want to try is to make the rearleg tibia’s a bit longer…considering that the front has a bit more load to carry.
So only head and tail rotation has to be inverted.
Tailrotation = Tail Pan?
Headrotation= Head Pan?
Sorry I watched again. The head rotation is the only thing reversed. Doh! There is no tail rotation. lol The panning looks correct to me.
I get the picture! Much better!
Oops now that I see it with the head rotation fixed I am not sure if the tail panning is correct. I still can’t get over how well it works with those long legs.
very nice. and a great SES build of A-Pod.
Same here lol. Although i did test a lot of different ligconfigurations and mostly found that with just a battery and 2 boards about 10 cm femur and 15 cm tibia was max without overheating or damaging gears. Most of the time a used an offset on femur and tibia, a bit better on the strain.
Wow, it’s a bit getting just to the controls. But it can walk fast I guess…wow…
Kare and Xan, just great! Tnx!!! This is really a fun robot to play around with
Try the Tripod gait. It will walk much faster.
Very NICE Indeed!
I much prefer the SES legs to the ABS of the new A-Pod.
Makes me want to go buy some more servos…

You did notice it is actually walking on my desk… Actually 2 models back a hex actually dived backward of the table…so a bit cautious after that.
Tnx! I think i am gonna call him serendepity or something. Because what i did was order ses and alluminium tubes, just for the pupose of experimenting around with different legs and i wanted to use the contactsensors and loose the wiring. 2 weeks ago after seeing Zenta’s video for the 10th time I just starting coping it as good as possible with the alluminium i had and i don’t have a workshop so… I used the body of the micromagic hexpod and it’s tibia’s and the ses-tubes i had. Then as I finished it, last monday I discovered that it is gonna be a kit and the code is already there. I am only waiting for the ant-style tail (hopefully by the end of this week) and then i have my serendepity apod replica. Well i can definitely say, it is the most fun hexapod to play around with. It can actually do something.
This is a height test for the legs by the way…looses some stability, but not too bad.
Look great. I was hoping that at the end of your video you would have the body sitting on top of the DVD cases… 
Again great job.

Looks like your having some fun! 
Great work!
It would be interesting to also see some pictures of your hexapod.
