Hello all,
As the title says this is another hexapod project. A little different from some of the others. I have lurked here for sometime but finally have a little time to actually get things going.
Before starting out I would like to thank Kurte, for answering a couple PM’s. Good decent communication, without the attitude I have seen of a few other boards.
The server controller is a Devantech SD21
An Arduino Mega 2560 is the brains
I have a R/C castle creations 20 Amp BEC to provide power to everything
Currently a 2100 MAH Lipo provides power
2.4 Gig r/c controller and receiver for user control - hope to have autonomous abilities this year.
I am just a wee bit closer to 100 than 0 so this is strictly being done for my own (and the cats ) amusement.
I am converting the code below to arduino because I am interested in his solution.

The servo control routines have been written and tested and work well.
For those interested the SD 21 provides both positioning and speed control, via the IC2 interface.
I can post code for those interested, but I have written a couple basic routines: stand, park and simple loop walk in slow motion.
Now I am getting into actually having things controlled via R/C inputs so it ramble about at various speeds.
The autonomous coding is initially being performed on a stripped down R/C tank - far more durable when the code fails and it crashes into things- as it has done.
Hopefully I can contribute something of use at some point.
