hi everyone

this is my hexapod 'SPIKE' (SPatial Inverse Kinematic Engine). it has got 4 dof legs, madible & tail inspired from zentas A-Pod & T-Hex. it has onboard intel atom D425 processor, SSC-32 servo controller, foot pressure sensors at the moment. still a few things r remaining to be loaded. the coding is done in python & would like to use opencv for object detection & tracking in future.
it is controlled by xbox360 wireless controller.

here is a basic video of its walk :D .

I like the walking style! How did you get it connected to an Xbox360 controller? Im just curious as I had to follow the instructions that came with my robot for the PS2 controller, as I am not clever enough to figure out how to change it, is it because Spike is using an actual processor instead of a microcontroller like the hexapod kits?

Also, nice music and video editing :)

Are you sharing your python code? I'm building something similair but on the raspberry pi. Since i'm not much of a programmer, i hoped that i vould use your code as a starting point for my own project.
