http://vizlog.com/robot/openstride.avi

These are HS-475HBs with the OpenServo boards filed, drilled, and jumped to fit. The bot is a LynxMotion [ http://lynxmotion.com ] Hex 3-R.

The motion is pulled from the gait generator from my other bot. [ http://vizlog.com/robot ]

Hope to see some other peoples success soon!

Perfect! Realy good work!

How often do you send new command positions to the servos?

I think in that video I was shooting for something around 15ms, but as I said to Nick, I haven't gotten all the kinks worked out of the bus communication, so I'm not sure how close to that I actually got.
