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 the
Hexapod/hexapod repository (Hexapod_NEW).
Running
Open hexapod/hexapod.pde in the Processing IDE and press Run. The sketch folder must stay named hexapod.

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.
