The Synchronization between hardware and software components can be illustrated using an excellent technique of solving a programming logic problem with a programmable electronic device. This can be achieved using an embedded system which is designed to perform one or few dedicated functions often with real-time computing constraints. In this paper, we implement and examine the development process of an embedded system, namely the Mini-Hexapod. Utilizing the innovative solutions to common robotics problems provided by the Lynxmotion, we physically simulate the problem by using a powerful Bot Board/SSC-32/BA28 and PS2 Controller attached to a Mini-Hexapod to carry out the actual motions to solve the problem. Our team experienced certain challenges during the implementation phase of the robot to maintain precise and graceful motions allowing synchronization between legs of the Mini-Hexapod, which in turn required intense concentration in configuring the robot. The actual movement of the mini-hexapod is a bit slow as compared to the other robots such as Mini-Rover; however Mini-Hexapod can efficiently cope up with this drawback upon solving a much more challenging “Steps Climbing” problem.
