Robot is walking!

Or some kind of swimming... Some of the legs gave up under the stress, and some motions are going the wrong way...but hey, its a start!

Now, back to making new parts and ordering stronger servo's!

Many thanks for the quick reply. Could i bother you for a schematic and what control software did you use? Sorry about this, just starting out - more used to quadcopters.

@MrRefractions schematic is not really there, i connected the servo's directly to the servo's and the arduino. Funny, im just looking into quadcopters :)

I Used the arduino program to write the code. Then i used Flash to create some interface with SerProxy. I'm quite at home with those 2, hence this choice. You can PM me your email if you want my source code

Hi, Looks good. Would you be able to give some more info, servos used, main board - looks like arduino. Did you use a seperate servo controller? Sorry for all the questions.

@MrRefractions I used standard servo's (Modelcraft RS-2 Or paralax standard servo's) with only the Arduino Mega. Just make sure you have a strong enough battery (mine is a Lipo 2000 mAh 8,4v) and it can control all of them with no problems

Many thanks for all your help. Regarding quadcopters i can recommend multiwii.com and aeroquad.com.
