I’ve got the beast built, software loaded, driver updated, etc.
The communication to Hexy is marginal – appears on Com10 on my Windows system, but the PoMoCo screen indicates output to Com2 … Resetting things like the Board, restarting my computer, etc. seems to help … and some leg twitching occurs.
Obviously I need to get every leg in the right position … but, what is the “centered” position? …
The “SetZero” operation moves legs around, but not to similar places. Presumably I can tweak each servo to get it to the centered position, but I’m unclear on what that position might be.
Ok, so batteries may have some effect – if I go into PoMoCo and only enable one leg’s servos at a time then:
a) I can use the adjustments to find the best offset for each leg after “zero” … Assuming that each leg should point straight out at that point …
b) it appears that the right side legs (low numbered pins) work "right’ and the left side legs work in mirror form
(I think there are comments on that on another forum entry)
