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.

sorry about that bartman... definately a miss communication. lols... i have this other book on hexapod walkers. first i have to go find it, lent it to a friend of a friend and has not returned it to me. will post it when i get it back. sell the book back on amazon maybe?

Yeah, we weren't on the same page, but that's okay. I'm still going to keep the book. Lots of useful information in it that may come in handy and I didn't spend a lot of money on it. If you get the name of that other book about the hexapod I'm interested in that too!

bartman.. not too sure if you still read this thread but just to update you.. the book that i lent to a friend of a friend... guess what that dude is not even in the country anymore and he took my book with him. but in the book that you bought there is a Hexapod Walker (Chapter 10) but its a basic one that you find on a lot of personal hobbist *there should be a spell check on the forum * websites. I suppose the reason its in the book is because it was easy to build for beginners. I just bought the AMPHIBIONICS the other day. next project at hand is building the robot snake.
