Hi James,
Quite a coincidence.
I was looking at your site only yesterday for some info about Jesmonite. I‘ll be posting on your forum with some questions later.
I remember Picaxe !!! Must be 5 to 10 years since I got into them. They seemed to be the easiest microcontroller to program in those days and a good price. (I was brought up on MS Basic, and found similarities.)
But I don’t have a clue as to WHY I needed a microcontroller. I seem to have no trace of the project in the attic or in my mind…

What sort of weight does inmoov need to have in the leg say from the knee down that is currently on the ground. Would two to three kg be enough to keep it stable.

Correct me if I am wrong, but as we shift our weight onto the leg that is standing our weight on our other leg is reduced. the walking leg is then raised moved forward backwards etc and the placed back down. The weight is then shifted to this leg and the other leg does the same thing. Using a pump and liquid this weight can be transferred back and forth for walking or equalised in both legs when standing still. Thinking along the linmes of ballast and centre of gravity conditions in flight.
On the shifting of weight from one leg to another
Think of something like a collapsable water container used in 4WDing in each leg. As one leg is raised the water is forced by a small piston into the other container which then expands and back and forth.
Probaly weight may not be the correct wordingm should have been more centre of gravity or balance.Quick overview is in this animation pdf

Is there anyone working on walking? this thread will focus on research and planning the construction of inmoov compatible legs. lets focus on energy efficiency, simplicity and price.I think a good start would be a charli ii ripoff.
