    Post A few things to know

    I thought I should probably provide a few problems that I have already identified.

    First: obviously if I could decrease the time where the motors are not driven.

    Second: motion can be rather choppy as there is no provision for controlling the time it takes to get from A to B, which means the servos will attempt to go from 80 to 480 in the same time that they would go from 450 to 480. which makes for alot more comand driven motion thats still too choppy.

    Third: If there was a way to decrease the amount of time where a command cannot be sent without effecting smoothness of motion (drammatically), it would improve the ability to make more complicated, and rapid movement sequences. (always good)

    Fourth: Introducing more motors with the current algorithm could spell disaster. The time between pulses needs to be regulated.

    Fifth: A problem that will soon be solved, and you can't really help me with is the fact that my robot only has one leg at this time. Which makes it look really funny when it try's to walk ^^.

    Here it is just lying around. The led stays lit when the power is plugged in but the Controller is off. When you turn it on the light turns off.



    He may only have one leg but hes not letting that get in his way!
