I’m looking forward to seeing the image. 
I swapped the right side of the servos that were connected to the ssc to the left and it runs better…but when in the fly mode it seems ok yet in the attack mode it puts the front legs up in the air movers them apart instead of together and it falls forward…
It seems that the servos are in wrong…maybe the vertical ones…
whts weird is that now the pic in the asm.docs the right side is the left except for the one servo…
pics on the way…
tkx
A thought – could I have the servos pluged in in the ssc the wrong front to back way??
humm?
Can you please past an image. The instructions are quite clear. I do not know why there is so much difficulty in doing something that is so well documented.
With this additional information I am now convinced that you have built the legs with the vertical servos backwards. You have already stated you are using hitec servos so they are moving the right direction for the code provided. Look at this image. You can see the round servo horns facing forward on all of the vertical servos.
Hope this works…
heres pics of my hex…
mysite.verizon.net/vzevvwaz/rjs/id12.html
watz up??
8)
wow I just saw the post by Jim…looks like hes right…
can I just reverse those ?? wont the lowered servo as in the horn on botton and not top give more height??
see I need this to all “fold up” inside my tank …not much room…
tkx 8) 8)
Gasp! well I have been doing this for 15 years. 
Actually studying what you have built requires no rebuild. Just call the front the back and reinstall the servos in the proper channels. 
The docs are great but need more pics…helps visualize…and I used the chr3 docs…
it sayz mirror them…but doent show the assembly…also this was done at 6am…no sleep…
hey it sure shows how easy it is to " disassemble " ( its a 5 alive word ) and reassemble the SES stuff…
really helps…
once I get it going I’ll add a subroutine to fold it all up…was going to do something so the legs can fold over too…
tkx much…Im going to get some yard work done while the Mr.Sun is out…!!
Well there is already one image per step in the docs, not sure how we could put more images in there. lol And the image I provided is from the tutorial that pertains to all round hexapods, A, B, and CH3-R robots. We will see what we can do to make it clearer what’s the front of the assembled bot.
Seriously though I am really glad this is finally sorted out. The plans you have sounds really cool. Can’t wait to see the video. 
The build does look nice. I’ve not seen one built up that way before. The 475 servos are on the low end of workability especially with the longer femur. Keep it light and you should be ok.
what your saying is to swap front to back …
take the right front and switch it…like 0-1-2 * 4-5-6 * 8-9-10 * 12-13-14…
and make 0-1-2 into 12-13-14 or 0-1-2 into 14-13-12 and so on…
I really did this by the book but some-how I got ti messed up…ill ck it again.
tkx for all the help…next on to the scout…
aaahhhh!!!
Start with the left rear horizontal, plug it into 00, right rear hip 01, right rear knee 02, and so on and so forth…
Maybe this will help…
yes…its now working the right way…
tkx for all the help …
now just need to get the battery…I see the one I need is out of stock…
how soon till there in??
if the battery doesnt give me enough “juice” I will hafta get better servos…
do I need the v2 ssc in the hex or should I put that in the Scout?? 
well now on to project Scout…
more “fun”… 8)
Oh the six sided piece I used for this project I made myself…took a course in “machine tech” so I could learn how to mill and lathe…was way cool 8)
Now I also want my own… 
A “tip of the Hat” to all the help…tkx again…
We should have the batteries back in sock in a little over a week.
Just a tip on power. On my CH3-R, I run two battery packs. One pack for the logic (VL) and one for the servo (VS). During the peak current draws, I found my 5-AA pack couldn’t source enough current, so the voltage would dip causing my logic to reset. Running two packs, one can be dedicated to the control circuit and the other is dedicated on feeding the hungry servos…
Yeah, 5 AA’s just can’t handle the current.
You are using 2 battery packs now, did you mean two 5 x AA packs? If the electronics don’t require much current, then a small battery pack, or possibly a 9v pack would be fine. If you’re talking about 1600 mA packs, then it sounds like more then you need for electronics. Splitting up the packs to run a SSC32 is a good choice, and one could probably run the electronics off of one side, if needed.
I’ve been exploring ways to run 4 servos and electronics (with sensors) off of the same pack. The servos I want to use want a max of 6v, and I need 5V regulated for the electronics. Too much draw for the low-headroom regulator I could find. I did put a pair of 1N4001 diodes in the power lead to the servos, but immediately after charging the NiMH batteries (7.2v) run over 8v out! I’m thinking about using a 6V regulator for the servos.
