Gait not gate!
need to get this right if you intend to research it. youtube.com is a good place to see it in action.
best to type ROBOT GAIT rather than just GAIT!
also google.com will have written text and maybe videos too. did you get the PM i sent you?
Hi,
You could also study my PEP for making simple steps or sequences. Also study it for learning about the kinematics.
Actually, there are only 3 (4) type of gaits in Xan’s code; tripod, ripple (quadripple) and wave. They are varied by the count of steps in each gait method.
thats it couldnt remenber it. thanks Zenta.
Thanks, that’s what i was looking for… now if I could just make my parts appear so i can assemble them all and watch my paraplegic robot giddyup…
you guys ever make your robot RC? or are you just putting pre programmed sequences into your stamp and letting them run?
You really need to follow this thread to see what Xan has the Phoenix doing. It is remote control…
lynxmotion.net/viewtopic.php?t=4285
Also the processor used is the Atom Pro not a stamp. A basic stamp will never have enough horse power to control the Phoenix. 
Whoops, yeah I’m going to pick up the atom Pro.
I was going to start with something simple like programming a single leg from scratch then intertwine the other leg code… I guess the base question is I really have no concept of how fast this processor is, as to how sloppy or optimized my code needs to be… I know basic is well… basic but as to how to input the servo commands or if quite a bit of the commands need delay’s tagged onto the end of them. was it something like 16mhz or 32? anyway I’m kinda guessing here the code can be pretty sloppy and visually still not be able to see the error as were just controlling 18 servos… so is that even a topic to be answerd? or commented on?
If my theory is incorrect or bad feel free to comment on it i’m just tossing idea’s out here…

*Innerbreed – yeah I didn’t get the pm you sent me. best thing to get a hold of me is, aim/icq/google chat/msn/yahoo yeah i got em all.
There is a very good reason Lynxmotion carries only Hitec servos. They just work and if you use the proper one for a given application, you are MUCH less likely to experience any problems. I am also very sensitive to prices of components, but I won’t risk failures just to save a few dollars in the short term. I’d much rather save up and get the best parts for what I want to do than buy something less expensive and risk having a lot of problems.

Yeah,
I picked up 12 HS-645MG’s and 6 HS-475HB so we be peachy…
is there a really good solution for a battery pack for the phoenix?
I wouldn’t mind getting a 4400 Mah RC car battery pack for the phoenix its 7.2volt so i wasn’t sure if that’s usable for the servo’s with some sort of 6volt regulator but I really wanted to avoid having many battery packs for the phoenix as it would weigh it down quite a bit.
am I repeating myself or is there forum threads about batteries allready?
–Aaron
I’m pretty sure both Zenta and Xans threads discuss batteries and regulators extensively.
Thanks, I wasn’t sure or wouldn’t remember where that all was.
