Phoenix Hexapod strange walk

[font=Verdana]Hi,[/font]
[font=Verdana]I am trying to get the Phoenix up and running(walking).[/font]
[font=Verdana][/font]
[font=Verdana]I connected the SSC-32U and the BotBoarduino. Al works fine but I wonder if the walk is as it has to be.[/font]
[font=Verdana]I saw several Youtube movies of a very fluent walk and not like this. Walking to left and right is not very smooth and looks disoriented.[/font]
[font=Verdana]All other functions are working.[/font]
[font=Verdana]Is there any way to make this behavour more fluently. for example, the backlegs, when moving forward, hardly function.[/font]

Hi,

Indeed, it does not look like it is walking as expected.

Is it possible your frame is of a different size than the default Phoenix hexapod our code is meant for?
If so, you may want to check your min/max angles and also the dimensions here and here. You may also want to look at these.
All of these settings are meant to customize the gait response to fit your hexapod.

Of course, this will require some tweaking and trial & error on your part.

Good luck and post another video to let us know how it goes!

Sincerely,

Yes thank you, I shall take a look and let you know

Oh, also worth mentioning, CBenson brought up the idea that you may have the “shoulder” servomotors reversed.
This would certainly explain the “drunk gait”! :slight_smile:

O thank you, in a couple of days I will be back home and see what is the problem.
