Does anyone have, and want to share, a good walking gait for the biped scout robot?
If you can i'd apriciate the actual pulse width you give to the servos.

Thank you in advance,
Vlad

Maybe ask list members if they happen to have this code?

Yeah, forum members. I suspect some may have downloaded or been supplied the code at one time. Look for the usual BRAT "suspects". (that didn't sound too good!).

If no one is able to provide the walking gate for the scout, you might want to watch some videos and try to create your own.
If you don't have the Visual Sequencer software, you might want to consider buying it. It makes things a little easier.

About the Visual Sequencer software. I don;t have this but i don''t have the normal board used to control the robot either. I am using one done by me, whit a STM32f103RB MCU, so i don't think i could easily use that software.
Thank you for the movies . I was already busy copying the gates from the first movie you posted and it's going quite good. 1 problem left to solve and it should be working. Maybe i'll post a movie whit my robot walking and it's gait's once ready.

Yeah the visual sequencer works well with the SSC-32 and the BAP MCU. I'm not sure how it would work with your custom board.

We always enjoy watching videos of fellow bot builders! So when you're ready, post a Youtube video of it!:D

The SEQ code for the Scout in the lower video came from here.
http://www.lynxmotion.com/images/html/build109.htm

For some reason it was dropped from the Scout assembly guide page. We have replaced it.

the short answer is no. :cry:
the best thing to do it to learn a little. bit by bit. i would say the best way to start would be to link up a botboardII and an Atom Pro28 and start by moving the servos how you want, by sending simple servo commands. you can then get help with adding sensors etc.

here is a start: i wrote this after jim sent me a link.
read it and try and understand how it works. it will need perfecting for you scout.
download/file.php?id=280

also Here's a link with both video's and a gait using sensors.

The slightly longer answer is I'm quite certain that people have written code for the Scout with sensors etc. However, for whatever reason, no one has taken the time to publish the work. The projects posted on forums only represent a fraction of the projects out there.
