Step 14a.
It is likely that when you assembled the legs,
the positions were not exactly at 90 degrees.
You have two options to position each of the
servos, the first of which is to use Lynxterm.
Download and install Lynxterm (software
section under "Products"). Disconnect the SSC-
32 from the BotBoarduino and reinstall the Tx /
Rx jumpers, as well as both Baud jumpers (so
it's at 115200). Power the SSC-32 (both VL
and VS), open Lynxterm, select the correct
COM port and click "All=1500". The servos
should all move to 90 degrees. Next, click
"Reg." and in the new window, click "Read".
Position each servo to exactly 90 degrees by
using either the slider or by typing in the
offset. Once this is done, click "Write", which
then modified the firmware on the SSC-32.

Step 14b.
Instead of using Lynxterm to position the
servos at 90 degrees, you can use the SSC-
32's built-in position offset feature. Please
refer to the SSC-32 user guide for more
information. You will need to add the position
offset commands in the sample code.
Step 14c.
If you have FlowBotics Studio, pair with the
Bluetooth module via the FlowBotics Studio
SQ3 project interface. The green light on the
Bluetooth will become solid once a connection
has been established. Click the "configure"
button to position each of the servos to exactly
90 degree.
Step 15.
The robot should now be wired correctly, but
there with wires going everywhere. It is now a
matter of routing the cables. You can unplug
and re-plug the wires as needed, especially for
the servos, and well as run them through the
body and brackets. Be certain to leave enough
length so each joint in the legs are able to
move freely and reach all positions and do not
get pinched by the brackets or servos. Use the
cable ties provided in the kit to connect the
wires together. Alternatively, black electrical
tape or wire wrap also look nice.
Ensure the battery is perfectly centered inside
the body to ensure the robot walks properly.
