Step 11Attach the legs - The most "you spin me right round, baby, right round" step
Calibrating your hexapod is important. Your hexapod is "blind" because it has no sensors. It assumes that everything matches the computer model. It's your job to make sure that assumption is correct.
Print out the calibration pattern twice. Tape the two halves together to make a circle.
Place the top half in the center of the circle. Insert the shoulders into each gear so that the toes point along the lines. Do not turn the servos to get a perfect fit - get as close as you can and we'll adjust it later.

TIP: I taped my calibration pattern to some cardboard for easy storage and reuse.

TIP: Don't forget which side of the hexapod is which, now that it's upside down and backwards.
