mangavalkandClaude Opus 5.5 a961fa721b Remote: match the old remote's hardware; old remote code in LEGACY
- LEGACY/remote/teensy/: old remote sketch from
  https://mangavalk.com/Hexapod/remote.git @ 492dece (reference only).
- remote/Config.h: sticks on A0-A5, Nextion on Serial1 (0/1), as in the
  old sketch; MPU6050 moved to Wire2 (25/24) since A4/A5 are Wire's pins.
- NextionUI: controls on a vscope-global "control" page added to the
  old HMI; keeps the old t1 status texts; the old page-1 b2 button (and
  serial 'U') enter Nextion upload passthrough, following the PC's baud.
- Docs: NEXTION.md, remote README wiring, CLAUDE.md.

Hexapod

A six-legged walking robot (Teensy 4.0) and its handheld remote (Teensy 4.1 + Nextion touchscreen), linked over nRF24L01.

robot/                     robot firmware: IK, gait, body pose, IMU stabilization, state machine
remote/                    remote firmware: 2 x 3-axis sticks, MPU6050 tilt, Nextion UI, RF24 TX
shared/                    HexapodProtocol: the CmdPacket wire format + radio settings used by both
sim/                       the unchanged robot firmware compiled into a DLL for the simulation
Hexapod_Simulation_Unity/  Unity project that runs that DLL on the 3D model
LEGACY/                    older material kept for reference
scripts/                   PlatformIO helper (per-environment sketch folder)

Build (PlatformIO)

pio run                    # build both
pio run -e robot -t upload
pio run -e remote -t upload
pio device monitor -e robot

Simulation

From the repo root in PowerShell (the dev PC is Windows):

.\sim\build.ps1            # build hexapod_sim.dll + run the headless firmware checks

Then open Hexapod_Simulation_Unity and press Play. See sim/README.md.
