hexapod motion test video 3

Rewrote all the Inverse Kinematics, changed a ton of hard-coded values into customizable information, and generally got everything to finally work.

Lots more to come. Want to support my project? Donate code and/or pennies to http://visual-hexapod.sourceforge.net/

Very cool.

@katakis1 Thank you :)

[airynis]

That's pretty kick ass, D! I'm impressed. I ought to come see it in person!

[aggrav8d]

@airynis If you're in Vancouver, Canada ... that could be arranged.

[galannthegreat]

Very impressive. Are you working on an untethered version?

[aggrav8d]

@galannthegreat Yes, I have already added battery power and I'm waiting for a bluetooth receiver before I post another video.

[aggrav8d]

Galannthegreat - Yes. See the annotations :)

There's a Bluetooth module for my control board that I'd love to get my hands on. it would be easy to add a battery, though at the moment the servos run on 5V and the logic board runs at 9V. I'd need to add a transformer and I'm not sure what amerage I need. I'm actually pretty ignorant about electronics. More proof that anyone can do it! PS: did I mention I got this far, from nothing, in 38 days? :)

I need three cameras and three tripods to really catch everything going on.
