The only problem with using individual servo control is speed, the time it takes to move 12 servos by individual commands is rather long. This has the effect of slowing the walker down considerably. A dedicated controller such as the MSCC11 that I (...) (26 years ago, 8-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I believe the best thing to do is use separte controlers (e.g. PICs) to control the specific motions of the servo's. This will allow you to have more control over the HB. There are several places on the web (e.g. (URL) where you can find info on (...) (26 years ago, 8-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi all Iam thinking about making a six legged walking robot using servos and wondered if anybody has already built one. I want to use two servos per leg one for lifting and another for the sweeping action so giving 12 in total. One thing i want to (...) (26 years ago, 8-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
