when I turn on my hexapod, it moves the servos brutally / faster. I wish at this stage were moving slowly. how can I do this?
in this video you can see the “problem”
Try positioning your legs before you turn them on, and then make the first position commanded be that position. I believe the new Phoenix code (I’m using on a 'Quad) does that.

With these RC type servos, there is no feedback information from the sero. So when you tell the servo to go to some position, the servo will jump to that position as quickly as it possibly can.
So most of the time we try to setup a first move to some specific position that is the same as the position we normally place the robot in, which is also the same position as when we logically turn the robot off…
However with some other types of servos, we can query a servo for it’s actual position and then we can do this more gracefully.

I understand. I thought you could do it because when I turn it off servos move slowly. it is only when I turn it on that the servos are moving fast.
You can not change any line of code at startup?
