Programming the A-Pod Hexapod

Hello!

I am using the Basic Micro Studio to program the Bot Board II on my A-pod Hexapod. I have a couple questions:
What processor should I use? Can I use a BS2?
Do I have to set a certain baud rate?

Thank you very much for any help and advice!

The suggested microcontroller was the Basic Atom Pro (connected to a Bot Board 2), which was discontinued some time ago by the manufacturer. We only had sample code for this controller for use with the A-Pod, which has not been ported over the the BotBoarduino. For this reason, we have not released a complete A-Pod kit. The code we currently have for the BotBoarduino can be used with the legs, but there is no code for use with the head or “tail”.

You can use a 24 or 28 pin microcontroller with the Bot Board 2, but there will not be any sample code available.

Thank you very much for your advice CBenson!

I switched to Botarduino and downladed the Phoenix code. The robot is walking and working :slight_smile:

Could I use Lunxmotion Visual Sequencer (atom.io/packages/platomformio) to translate it to Arduino? If yes, how should I upload the code I generate to my robot?

Honestly not sure - you’re in unexplored territory… give it a try!

I will! and I will let you know about the results :smiley:
