Just put together a quad…looks kool…but does anybody have a gait seq.
for a quad…?
cant get it walkin’ 
Are you using an SSC-32? I want to build a quad also. I was told that although Lynxmotion has quad kits, but no programming for a quad, that it should be easy to make a quad walk. I suppose that is a relative term. Can you start very slowly moving one leg at a time? You could write a program that starts with the right foreleg moving foreward. Pick it up, swing it forward, set it down and then swing it rearward to the original postion. Then when you have mastered that, couldn’t you make the other legs mimick the right foreleg, just out of phase with each other?
In my mind a cycle of the gait would be the right foreleg moving forward, followed by the left rear, then the left foreleg with the right rear leg completing the cycle. Let me know how it turns out. I plan to build the lynx kit first, then try to build a larger version with the power gearbox servos from Servo City. Good luck.

This video shows a static quad gait pretty well, watch it a few times and study it. youtube.com/watch?v=wt_k2aoF6l0
Watching the quad gait based on an SES build assures me that it is possible. It seems if the range of motions were lesser, it might walk with a smoother gait? Or is that just wishul thinking?

Not sure what servos were being used. It may be that he was using 475 servos. If so 645 servos would probably do better. Also it’s just an example, Im willing to bet it could be improved with tweeking.
I have tried some stuff but its hard to get it to move when 3 of the legs needed for balance are stationary…the one walk shows a static gait but looks like it needs refineing…
Sorry I’m late on the thread. Musta missed it. Very interesting to view the videos.
Gait is very tenuous, possibly from trying to make the entire step at one time? Could probably be improved.
Looks like LM is no longer offering any quadrupeds, other then the ability to build one up from SES parts. No body, 'tho.
That’s too bad, this is a challenging platform that could emulate a lot of animals, and would be interesting.
Something I intend to investigate further, once I collect enough parts. there is interest in quads on the Seattle forum. I have some ideas on running the legs more vertical, which might help.

There is a quadruped body in the SES.

It’s actually the one used in the videos. 
The quads being discontinued can be looked upon as either, we are giving up on the technology, not likely, or it could mean a complete redesign of the quads is in the works and we are removing the old ones from the site to let the distributors sell their remaining stock. 8)
Thanks for the URL.
Good to hear that the quad may not be dead.
Something could be made up with your ACB-01 parts on the body, which would allow the 'bot to have a more vertical stance.
What software is driving the SES demo? What is a “Sine Walk”??

If you’re referring to the video, it was done by a customer, not us. I don’t know much about what they did.
here is a vid with a wheeled set up…
this quad looks like theres no problem getting around…
took my idea … 
Ratz…

I switched to a hex for now…post pics in project later…
Yes!
This 'bot gets around quite well. Looks like 4DOF, maybe more. Don’t know about the wheels, 'tho.
Hexapods are much easier to get going. I have one as well. I suppose I could pull off two of Shelob’s legs, and make her a quad… Seems like a shame. Better to get more legs and just build it.

This robot consists of four legs, four wheels and body. Each leg has three joints with two directions, and each wheel rotates in the CW and CCW directions. The modeling of animal motion is based on kinematics. The motion has two modes: legged mode and wheeled mode. At legged mode, this robot can walk as Komodo lizard. The motion at legged mode is controlled as animal-like as possible. At wheeled mode, this robot is controlled to drive as a car and softly moves with non-slip in flat plane. The control system is built up with DSP TMS320F2812 module.
The bot was built in South Korea. Where did you find this information?
wow that quad is amazing, im inspired 
. the bot looks like it uses dynamixels if im not mistaken and it moves so well. Gah! i got some decisions to make (build quad or humanoid)
i spoke with Park Jeong-Woo the creater and designer and he sent me some info on it. if you like i can email it to you?
My dream has always been to build a quad. That video just proves that a natural looking gait is possible. I’m sure in time it will be refined even more. Man that looks fantastic! I ordered a second 3DOF leg kit this week so now I have four legs. Come on weekend!

How about sharing with the rest of us also!!!
