Getting Phoenix code to work with Arduino and RTRobot controller

Community General Discussions

Happy New Year everyone! :)

I'm building a 3-DOF hexapod (Lynxmotion 3DOF Phoenix clone) with 18 MG699R servos.

I got a 32-channel RTRobot controller (Chinese ARM based, supports PS2) as well. All guides I could find on using Phoenix code are related to Lynxmotion proprietary controller and BotBoarduino...

Frame and servos already built/attached, I just need to figure out software...

Has anyone done this with regular arduino (vanila ATmega328p, etc.)?  I tried making sense of Phoenix github repo https://github.com/KurtE/Arduino_Phoenix_Parts and very confused at this point :(

I don't care about wireless/PS2, etc at this point, just want my hexapod to start moving :)

Thanks for any help! :)

Problem with clones

The problem with clones (aside from many quality and warranty issues) is the lack of support / software. Given that it’s a copy of one of our products, we cannot offer support, but perhaps someone from the community can offer insight.

Sorry, I was under

Sorry, I was under impression that this was a generic robots site, not owned by one of the specific robotic companies like Lynxmotion, etc…
