here's one for the phoenix hexapod controlled by a ps2 controller and basic atom using ik. Most code you can view directly in txt editors like notepad. that way you could use the code posted on lynxmotion more directly and could get help from there if you needed it too. To be honest, if you wanted to make it a little easier on yourself and already know as much basic as c, i would suggest you just getting a microp that runs basic. So if you wanted to use an arduino, you would just replace the basic atom with the arduino and could still use the ssc32 for running the servos (I dont think any arduino other than the mega can easily run 18 servos at a time). That will be what runs the IK programs as well as any navigation and control programs. Most lynxmotion bots use something called the bot board which is a basic atom processor (think basic stamp on steroids).

The ssc32 is just a servo sequencer, all it does is listen to serial commands to find out where to move servos and update them. Is there some kind of formula or library that can be used to simplify this? :-/Īlso, I've found absolutely no information ragarding 3d positioning, only 2d.

Going to university studying something that has nothing to do with maths made me a bit slow in this. Think of each unique Scene file as a unique level. To set up IK for a character, you typically have objects around the scene A Scene contains the environments and menus of your game. The closest thing I found was this: Learn about Robot Inverse Kinematicsīut it's been 2 years since my last math class and although I remember the basics of trigonometry I've no idea what's that Atan2 thing for example. This approach is known as Inverse Kinematics (IK) and is supported in Mecanim for any humanoid character with a correctly configured Avatar. But for arduino, I didn't find a single tutorial or library.

If we simplify this to a single leg/arm, my question is, how do I program Inverse Kinematics in arduino so that I only need to give him the coordinates and it positions the leg correctly?Įvery thing I see in the internet talking about this, refers specific programs for virtual animation, or software to control robotic arms with your computer. Hi, I wanted to make an hexapod for some time but had no idea how I was going to deal with the huge ammount of code it requires for it to make a single step.Īfter recently researching a bit I discovered about Inverse Kinematics, and how it could really make the coding of a walking robot so much easier.
