Hi, is this where the hexapod pros meet? 
Hi Xan, Zenta, and all the robo-geeks I haven’t met yet. I have sent some progress pics of my scratch-built hex to Zenta and Matt @ Micromagic Systems. Like most of you, I would have any number of robots crawling about my floors, but life has a habit of getting in the way. :roll:
For the last few weeks, I have been using a bluetooth module from A7 Engineering to communicate with the SSC-32 only. I got most of the set up adjustments done and programed some sequences with the LM sequencer. Specs on this beast for reference:
All T6 aircraft aluminum chassis, CNC laser cut (Cost me a case of Budwieser long necks, I think it was worth it 
)
The servos are the infamous TowerPro MG995 cheapos :oops:
Brains are LM SSC-32, Basic Atom Pro, miniABB.
the lower coxa joints are stabilized by some flanged bearings I got from some old semiconductor manufacturing tools. Dumpster-diving 101
I also used a 10amp 6VDC regulator for the servos benefit, and an on-board led battery indicator, both from LM.
Power is from a 7.2 or 6.0 nMh C-cells battery from LM (either one works, and I have collected several)
I etched my own power distribution board in order to run the wires neatly for the two separate switches, brains and servo power.
There is the PS2 I added today, and a 2x8 serial LCD from MatrixOrbital that I will be adding as soon as I figure out how to change the baud. It will be useful in displaying modes, menus, calculations, etc.
The tubular tibias are not hard to make and look cool. I can show how I made the tubing bender I used to bend them. The only reason I’m not piloting the bot all over the house right now, is the code I downloaded for the Xan’s PS2 walking project will not compile, so I can’t load it to the BasicAtomPro. The Tripod program gives me an error in line 431, “expecting a label” The other two programs will not compile, giving an error in line 429, with the same “expecting a label.” I’m thinking it is probably something simple I can fix if I can find line 431. Is there a box I can check to turn on some line numbering, or do I just have to count my way down? 
The debugging function does not indicate the offending line with a hi-lite like PicBasic Pro does, so I’m looking for an easy way to find it.
I can program, at least on a rudimentary level. I’ve looked over your amazingly well-done code and am still in awe that anyone could write something like that. I understand Kinematics as a concept and want to learn more about it on a practical level.
Looking forward to fixing these bugs and playing with Xan’s program.
Then on to learning how to use Zenta’s Phoenix program.
So many robots, so little time . . . .
Be safe.
Brian
Please feel free to let me know if you need some help with something.
Your parts look really great!
