Botboarduino program for hexapod using serial interface

Hi,

this is a question for hexapod crawler control where the bot boarduino is being used.

I don’t yet have a controller for the botboarduino - i realize now that my controller needs the level shifter and i can’t readily find it on the web site…

Given that - i am seeing in the hexapod program for the botboarduino that we can communicate via USB serial.
Do you have a program that lets me issue simple commands like “walk one step”?
Basically using the keyboard to run the robot as if it were a PS2 controller…

That would be great!

I am also seeing something that i don’t understand.

I have the serial port wires connected as per the diagrams, but seeing the red led flash on the sCC32u board indicating uart issues between the two boards (as well as the green LED).
The ENABLEGP message is coming up, but no version number… so it does not appear like the two boards are communicating…

Any ideas?

Hi,

Here are answers to your comments/questions:

You can make one using the RB-Onl-24 and the RB-Cyt-70. You will need to solder them together yourself.

We do not currently have a software that does this with the BotBoarduino. You can use the source code found here and modify it as needed though. It is possible to code those actions and use them to replace the ones from the PS2 controller. You can find out how the PS2 controller events are handled here.
