The root README has the timeline of all generations since 2009. Each generation folder explains its hardware and what is in it. .gitattributes turns off line-ending conversion so all files stay as they were.
Hexapod – Processing simulator
A 3D simulator for the hexapod robot's leg kinematics, written in Processing (Java mode, 2.x).
It draws the body and six legs, solves the inverse kinematics per leg (FootClass) and animates body rotation
and translation (HexapodClass), cycling through a few camera views.
The same FootClass / HexapodClass / CustomTimer design was later ported to the Arduino firmware in
../../2016-ssc32-processing-port/Hexapod_NEW/.
Running
Open hexapod/hexapod.pde in the Processing IDE and press Run. The sketch folder must stay named hexapod.
History
This folder was rebuilt in 2026 from old archives. Each archive became one commit, dated by its newest file:
| Tag | Source archive | Date |
|---|---|---|
processing-rar-1 |
Hexapod 1.rar |
2014-10-06 14:30 |
processing-rar-2 |
hexapod 2.rar |
2014-10-06 22:39 |
processing-rar-3 |
hexapod 3.rar |
2014-10-12 16:17 |
processing-rar-4 |
hexapod 4.rar |
2014-10-13 00:49 |
The commit after rar-4 is the last unarchived sketch folder; its real date is unknown (file dates were lost in a
2016-11-14 copy), so it carries that date.
