I have to biuld a hexapod in two weeks, I have a BS2, 18 hs-485 servos, a bot board II and thats it.
I need to make a sequence so that the hexapod can move.
source code anyone?
Not sure if BS2 can run 18 servos at ones:

How about the atom 28
yes… get the BASIC Atom Pro 28 Pin:

Apart from the newest development of the ARC32, the BASIC Atom Pro 28 Pin is the current and most up to date when it comes to code. there is plently of code for the 28pro
might also need the SSC-32 with those 18 servos!

The bot boardII has 18 servo connections
the BAP28 has up to 8 A/D pins! if the BB could be capable of running 18 servos then we would all be doing it. you will need to get the ssc32. the connection will look something like this:
The Bot Board II with the Atom Pro 28 can control 20 servos. The processor can certainly be programmed to control this many servos. There are only 20 I/O pins though. If you need any sort of sensors could be an issue. Note, 18 servos implies a 6 leg 3DOF bot. I do not know if anyone has done this on the Atom Pro using hservo and no dedicated servo controller. Certainly something could be written, but it’s not going to work like Phoenix or even powerpod generated code.
so can I got the basic atom pro 28 and the ssc-32 controller, does anyone have sample code to make the hexapod dance, a servo routine an example so i can get an idea how to programm the robot to do a rutine
You should do some search before asking…
And even on the thread i have made a link to some project…!!!
Do you have a robot, or just 18 servos? We’re trying to help, but we don’t have a clue what you have.
i have 18 servos I made the chassis and legs by myself, all I need is a code to make the robot move as soon as i turn it on
i also have he bot board II, ssc-32, basic atom pro28
I need it to move without the ps2 controller
If you want it to move without an outside control, then you’re talking autonomous. There’s a Powerpod build for that, but you’ll have to add in your sensors, and generate joystick X & Y values to control the 'bot. Can also be done with the Phoenix code.

could it be controlled by the ssc-32 only?
The SSC-32 can do a 12-servo hexapod, but still needs someone to tell it a few things to control the gait. Nothing in the SSC-32 does autonomous.
You need a processor of some sort to tell the SSC-32 what to do. The ARC-32 may be able to do the control and the servos by its self.
