FOBO with servoshiel2 library

Projects General Guidance
1

Hello, so im making a fobo (http://www.instructables.com/id/FOBO-bipedal-walking-robot/). And im kinda new to programming, but i really need to make this robot for my project in university. So, the main reason why im writing here is that i need help from someone smarter than i am. I bought all the parts, and one part (servo shield) is not the same as used in original project, becouse they do not make those servoshields. And the servo shield library changed to, so none of the provided codes work anymore. I managed to change the servo centering program, but there is no way i can change the end product code.. :disappointed_relieved: Whats the best way to fix this? can i change servo shield it self to work with older library? or can i alter the library it self? or the easyest way is to rewrite the code? :fearful:

What is a servo shield? Do you have links to the specification for the original and for the new version?

This is the original - XXX
and this one im using - XXX

Sorry, that seems to be a complex thing which would take a lot of study to answer your question - I'm just lazy.

Maybe you will find someone who has already used one of them. Have you searched the forum specifically for the shield using Google? xxxxx site:arduino.cc

ive been looking for answer for a while now, but couldnt find any. its strange that im the only one with this problem.. :~

If it was my problem I would read the two documents line by line and side by side making notes of the differences.

Its almost certainly a minor inconsistency - such as changed pin numbering.

When you say

none of the provided codes work anymore

do you mean that the code won't compile OR just that it compiles happily but won't make the servos move?

If the code won't compile tell us what error messages you get.

it compiles, but none of the servos move. And i think that is becouse servoshield rev 1 (used in the original project) uses servoshield library and im doing it with servoshield rev 2, and it uses servoshield2 library. there are few codes like servo centering, and i managed to change it to work with servoshield2 library, but i have no idea how to change navigation code or remote control code. i think that the codes need only minor changes, but i lack experience..
