Above is my first working simulation in week 2, we can see big progress in work, the robot got few options already:
hexapod.body_shift
Stretching/Shifting body
hexapod.step_forward
We can specify which set of the foot will go first and in which direction we are going
hexapod.walk
This function is for providing a walk we set step.length, step_height and how long should it work
Problems:
I spend quite a lot of time to set connection with simulator via a port, the problem was in python which was 32bit version (64bit is needed to read library 64bit).
The complexity of code, right now the robot got only a few options and it is already quite complex in calculations.
Progress:
The robot is moving in a sensible way. It can do right now many moves in any direction this is what I was looking for to obtain as flexible functions as possible.
Next week:
I plan to create a short document about all these functions to provide a kind of specification, and I also plan to add sensors and few behaviors like object avoidance
