Phoenix, SEQ and PEP - some advice please

Lynxmotion Legged Robots
1

Hi All,

I’ve been trying to get my phoenix walking but encountered a few hurdles with which i could use some help please. :confused:

After following the LM build instructions I found that the servo connections listed in PEP seem to be different to those indicated in the LM document.

The PEP connections also seem to require that the body is mounted in the opposite direction - with switch at the front and serial connection at the back.

I subsequently rebuilt my hex to match the PEP connections as i understand them (see pic).

I’ve successfully connected with SEQ and created a trimmed config file - so all legs sit correctly.

I’ve now ground to a bit of a halt.

Please could someone in the ‘konw’:

  1. confirm that my servos are connected up correctly (for use with PEP)
  2. let me know what i need to do next to configure the hex for use with PEP and get it walking around.

thanks in advance for any assistance. :smiley:

Hi,

There is a dedicated thread for posting questions about PEP lynxmotion.net/viewtopic.php?t=3117.
Please read the manual I wrote for PEP (about generating walking gait).
Your Pin setup for PEP seems to be correct. I have very soon a new PEP version ready for the standard Lynxmotion setup. I’m on a little trip right now but I’ll try to mail a working version to Jim soon.

plingbot, that is one nice looking bot you got there… I’m not too familiar with the PEP code, so hopefully zenta can shed some light on it. He’s on the opposite side of the globe so you’ll probably just have to hang tight until tonight, when he comes online (unless of course if he doesn’t sleep :wink: ).
