Control
There are four ways to control the XGO which include the performance mode, the overall mode, the single-leg control and the servo control.
The performance mode has all the preset commands which could control xgo with a low DOFs and a high operability.
The overall mode is able to control the speed and directions with a high DOFs and senstive operation.
Single-leg control and servo control can be controlled with a much smaller granularity for a single leg (left front leg, right front leg, right rear leg, left rear leg), and adjustment of the upper and lower rudder for a single leg. Commonly used for minor adjustments to specific movements.
Project
This project uses XGO App in the overall mode to make the XGO go forward/backward/right/left, you can see the reference video here.
