I build a phoenix quadrudepod and I can’t get it to walk. Is it safe to say that the phoenix hexapod software won’t work because of it only being 4 legs as apposed to 6. Anyone have any ideas?
Here we go again… Lol
you will need to give us more details about your project. There are many electronic setups you could be using, as well as the actual details of the robot.
Using software for a 4 legged robot that’s intended for 6 is not going to work straight off the mark. It would need modifying. Or… The quicker way would be to use quadruped code thats already available…
But without knowing your setup i can’t point you in the correct direction.
I’m using the same setup that the Phoenix hexapod uses. SSC 32 and BBII with ps2 controller. It was working when it was setup as a hexapod. The hardware and software are the same taken from the hexapod and used in the quad.
Look at Kurt’s Github:
github.com/KurtE/Phantom_Phoenix
I’m putting it on the new Quad QS3.

Github doesn’t have any code for my setup! I Need code for the combo of the SSC-32 robocontroller and the BBII basic atom pro 28 using the PS2 for remote control. Does anyone know where I might be able to obtain such a code. Or will it be easier to swop my BBII basic atom 28 board and use BotBoarduino with my SSC32 robocontroller and PS2 control? Someone please help!
Yep,
Sorry, I don’t have any Basic Atom Pro quad support for the Phoenix.
I keep meaning to get back to the Quad work, but it will be done using an Arduino and/or Linux based system.

What board setup should I use for my quad in order to get it to work? Would the BotBoarduino and the SSC -32 be a good setup and is there code written for that setup?
Hi, sorry for not getting back sooner…
I used the same setup on my quad, except it was 4 dof not 3. But the same principles will apply.
Im sorry I haven time to look though the thread but here you will find into about it and I think somewhere … the code.

If you run your bot with a parallax propeller I could give you code for a quad. You’d have to modify it to work with the playstation controller but the IK and gait engine work.
The code is still in development but it works well enough to be able to go forward/back, and strafe left/right. I’ll have turning coded in about a week or two.
We would be happy to add the code to our GitHub (you would add your information to the top of the code to get credit).
Could you explain please. I’m a rookie at all of this.

As for your hardware, I’d switch to a BotBoarDuino. Get it working there first.
