Eric Nantel 21.1 84 Click "All=1500" to enable the servos. The robot's legs should move quickly into position as in Figures 2-1 or 2-2, and should hold
85 this position. If the legs move into position but suddenly go limp, this is an indication of a low battery. A low battery can't deliver the
86 required current, causing the SSC-32 to reset. Another clue that this is happening is the SSC-32's green LED will be on steady, as it is upon
87 powerup. If the legs are holding position but look radically different, then a mistake may have been made in the assembly. To correct this, you
88 can remove the center servo horn screw, pull the servo horn off the servo, reposition it, and press it back on the servo. Then replace the servo
89 horn screw. Don't worry if the legs are off a little bit (under 15°) as this will be corrected in the servo offset procedure.</font></td>

103 but don't move it! You will move it using the arrow keys on your keyboard for greater accuracy. Start tapping one of the arrow keys slowly until

Eric Nantel 21.1 217 Make sure your PS2 controller is turned on. The software switches the controller to analog mode. However, some controllers may need to be put
218 into analog mode manually. Apply power to the robot. If you hear a continuous beeping, the PS2 controller is not connected to the Atom properly
219 or is not functioning. You can test the controller with a Playstation 2 to verify that it is working.</font>
220 <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The shoulder buttons (L1, L2, R1, and R2) are used to adjust the height, leg lift, and
221 gait speed quickly. The "Tile Floor" setting (L1) uses a fast speed and slightly lower leg lift. "Tall Grass" (R1) uses
222 maximum ride height and leg lift, and slower speed. "Body Low" (R2) lowers the robot's ride height.</font></p>
223 <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The default is Walking mode. Use the Right joystick to move the robot around without
224 turning (this is called "translation"). The Left joystick's X-Axis (horizontal) rotates the robot as it moves. The Left joystick's
225 Y-Axis (vertical) changes the robot's ride height (L3 locks ride height). The Triangle button lowers the body to the ground then turns off all
226 the servos; press Triangle again to turn the servos back on and reset to default settings. The Circle button returns the robot to setup position
227 (all servos at 1500mS). The X button triggers the robot's attack, and Square prompts the robot to learn to fly. You can limit the speed of
228 walking via Left and Right on the D-Pad. Up and Down on the D-Pad increases or decreases the amount of leg lift. Start toggles extra leg lift at
229 the knee (knee angle shift).</font></p>
230 <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Press Select to switch between Walking mode and Body Move mode. In Body Move mode, the
231 right joystick moves the body horizontally (two axis rotation). The left joystick has four different formats. Mode 0 affects height and
232 rotation. Mode 1 affects height and side-to-side tilt. Mode 3 affects front-to-back tilt and rotation. Mode 4 affects two axis tilt.</font></p>
233 <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">By attaching a servo to Pin 31 on the SSC-32, the servo will automatically pan in the
234 direction of walking. The default is limited to 180° using a standard servo, and will mirror the direction when walking backwards. If a 360°
235 geared servo is used, the software can be configured to use the entire range of motion by uncommenting that section of the program.</font></p>
236 <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">By attaching servos to Pins 29 and 30 on the SSC-32, a manual pan and tilt or Little
237 Grip (rotate, open/close) can be added. Use R1/R2 and L1/L2 to control the servos. Note, this function is only available in Body Move Mode.</font></p>

394 You can use this program to create your own autonomous program or integrate your own remote control code. Just edit the lines in movequery sub
395 routine. The variables that effect the motion of the robot are as follows:</font></font>
396 <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Walking speed is defined by the XSpeed and YSpeed variables. The XSpeed variable has a
397 range of 120 (forward) to -120 (backwards). The YSpeed variable has a range of 120 (right) to -120 (left). Rotation is named Steering. It's not
398 really steering because if you try to turn while both XSpeed and YSpeed are 0, the robot will rotate in place. The range is 20 (right) to -20
399 (left) for steering and the speed of rotation is proportional to the value. The body height is set by the Height variable and also has a range
400 of -25 to 25.</font></p>
401 <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">For this version, to alter the LegUpShift (leg lift), you can utilize a range of 20
402 (close to floor) to 70 (about 2.5" from floor). If LegUpShift &gt; 45 the tripod Gait is modified to allow extra vertical movement and
403 GaitSpeed is limited to 8-4 range. Also, you'll have to move the body higher (by setting Height to -15 or -20 for example). If LegUpShift is
404 close to 70 it's recommended to use a 8-5 range for GaitSpeed. (If GaitSpeed is too fast, there won't be time for the extra vertical movement.)</font></p>
405 <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">To use it like a car, decrease XSpeed (from 0 to -120) to go forward, then use the
406 steering variable to turn, this way, the "head" will always look straight in the direction it walks. To use crab walk use only XSpeed
407 and YSpeed. The Head will always look in the same direction when controlled this way.</font></p>

423 axis), will be on dedicated channels. RC1 and RC2 for forward/backward and left/right, RC4 for rotation. The rest of functions should be
424 controlled by only 3 RC channels. 2 RC channels code function and last RC channel provides value for height or legupshift or speed. One three
425 state switch on the transmitter has been assigned to RC channel 5, one three state switch to RC channel 6 and one slider to RC 3. See Table 14-2
426 for details on these functions. It is quite complicated but with experimentation you should be able to understand how it works.</font></p></td>

533 Consult the documentation for the Bot Board and SSC-32 to explore different options for powering the servos and electronics. 6vdc is the
534 recommended voltage for the servos. A single 9vdc battery can be used to power all of the VL (5vdc logic) regulators. This will increase the run
535 time as the servo batteries still have sufficient power for the servos even after the voltage is too low to power the VL regulators. Experiment
536 and have fun.&nbsp;</font></td>
