I have been doing some playing around and replaced the one bad servo (which definitely helps make it work…
I also did a real quick and dirty video of the SQ3 more or less walking on my desk:
Again this video is raw. At the beginning it is using the ripple gait. Note: I changed the speed setting for these gaits to say go as fast as possible…
Then the next gait (after the beep), is where I tried to put a gait in that uses the figure 8 pattern instead of a circle for which legs go when. Also put a one step do nothing between each leg moving. Lots more can be experimented with this.
Then two beeps (two presses of the select button)as I ignore the Amble gait and go for the first gait that was built into the Lynxmotion gait. Does not walk well at all without balance turned on. Then you hear a different beep when I press the Square button and turn on balance. You can then see it shifting it’s balance in a circular motion and you see that it can walk (slowly) with this…
I have also included the current code that I used for this here. I am not sure how much more I will do with this for now. Once I verify that I have not screwed up the PhantomX (Hex and Quad), I will update my github with any change I made and include the project as one of the examples
