Progress
In the last few days, I started writing some test for the servo driver board, to be able to controll 18 servos at once. What was really important to me, was that I could find some important servo errors, which would effect the robot in the future and could possibly damage the frame of the hexapod itsself. So i started writing some important tests like a speed test, accuracy test, and adjustment test, which would point out all different errors, so they can be fixed. While i was working on writing these servo tests my friend was already learning, how to do inverse kinematics and has already implemented some test methods and files.
Challenges
While writing some tests I stumbled upon some problems, like working with the header file. I couldn’t access all the methods, but after some research I found a solution and could fix it. Otherwise, I had some Trouble with reading Inputs in the Serial Monitor. To be honest I still couldn’t quite fix them yet, but I am getting there.
Future steps
My next steps would probably be finishing my tests ( because I was only able to do the speed test ). Furthermore my friend will explain the kinematics code to me, so we can work on it together and implement different walking styles and more.
