code conversion

I'd be interested in knowing the name and author of this book. I have a book for a walking robot that uses just 3 servos. I'm interested in the 8 servo one.

The book is called PIC robotics by john iovine. Am interested in your 3 motor robot. Where can i have a look at that project???

Thanks. I'll check into that book.

The book I bought is called "Insectronics" by Karl Williams.

I haven't built it yet, don't know if I ever will because I'm holding out for something with a bit more in the way of degrees of freedom.

I looked at your code here too and as much as I wouldn't genrally disagree with Mister E (who is 1000X smarter than I) I don't think you can just make a couple changes to get it to work in PicBasic. The ENDIF statement alone would grind it to a halt so you are lucky to have found someone who can compile it for you with the Pro version.

Hi, the code were used for a insec bot. I used the book called "Insectronics" by Karl Williams to built a six legged insec - works pretty well once one can program the chip.

I guess if you want it you'll need to buy it, yes. I don't want to sell or give mine away as it has useful information that may come in handy.

I ordered the book you mentioned from Amazon. Came to $20.00 with shipping which seemed pretty reasonable.
