i don't get how the animations perform the hexapod movements , are these like recorded frames and they are played each time u push a certain button ? or is there some sort of a code to link the string data sent to the ssc-32 to your 3d model ? i just read ur post on lynxmotion forum and i still don't get how is the hexapod linked to the simulation , please explain more , thanks in advance :)
The software calculates the position of each leg (resp. angle of all three servos of one leg) in realtime while I'm adjusting the controls (body position etc.) with the mouse. You can see the control panel on the lynxmotion forum. The angle is set in the 3D model for each "virtual servo" and at the same time optionally converted to a servo pulse and sent over the serial cable to the bot.
The source code of the Java program is linked in the lynxmotion discussion.
what have you used for the simulation that we see on the laptop ? I'm very interested because i work with a few coleageues on a project with ch3-r and we wold like to have the posibility of testing the code without having acces to the robot; anyway it looks nice :)
There is a thread in the lynxmotion forums discussing the tools used to create the simulation software (Java/Java3D). (see Projects->My Hexapod simulation)
