code conversion

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.

haha you know what though i managed to get a copy of the pro version last minute from a friend of mine. thank goodness! saved me a lot of work. lol... thanks for the link too. will look into it later on.

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.

that isn't a too bad price i guess. have fun with it when you get the book. the problem about the book is that i find the author some times forget that there are newbies to the whole PIC programming and basic robotics so some of his projects seem a little way advance. plus when i first got the book and read the first few chapters i was under the impression that the projects would be written for PICBasic Compilers along with the Pro Compilers. when i finally purchased PicBasic i couldn't compile his codes for the walking robot which were written for the pro versions. i was new then some 20 posts ago Strange thing was the earlier projects before the walking robot had both basic and pro version of codes.

I received the book you mentioned yesterday. I guess I should have taken a better look at the code you posted. I was thinking it was for a hexapod walking robot, but it really is for a bipedal robot you are referring to.

The book I mentioned only deals with the haxapod walker so skip it if you are building a bipedal.
