Hi I just ordered the Lynxmotion Quadrapod SQ3F Flowbotics Studio. I am curious though if it is possible to program this version of the quadrapod directly with Arduino as well, is this possible?
As I understand it, Arduino is very similar to Processing, is this correct? At least the UI looks very alike.
Thanks for a quick answer to my curiosity, since I would like to dig a little bit deeper than what Flowbotics Studio seems to be able to achieve. I have done several project with Processing in the past, it would indeed be very neat if this would be possible.
Your 'bot doesn’t have the BotBoarduino board, right?
The Arduino runs processing. The Symmetric Quadruped Kit (BotBoarduino) version has the same processor chip, and is programmed with the same IDE.
You could probably add a UNO or Mega (etc.) board to the 'bot, and run it, however the BotBoarduino is a better choice, as it mounts on top of the SSC-32 board.
Like Alan said, you will need to add a BotBoarduino or other Arduino controller to your robot and then program it with the Arduino IDE. FlowBotics doesn’t run on Arduinos, and instead runs on your PC and send serial commands to the SSC-32 board.
