Manoi Home position slip

[Orac offline]

Hi, during the football session a few weeks back, the Manoi suddenly started to fall over after every step.

Couldn't get him to walk at all. Finally I have managed to get a little quality time with him and had a look for broken servos, loose brackets, hairline cracks, etc but found nothing.

I adjusted the home settings on H2H to bring it back to normal and its now working fine again. two servos needed a fairly major adjustment.

Has anyone seen slipping on the servos before, or is there some way that a power surge could have afected the ICS parameters somehow?

Thanks

Do you recall which servos needed the adjustment, and how much they were off?

Hi,

Servo 12 was about 13 units out.

Servo 13 was about 5 units out.

Not a massive amout of difference, but enough to stop it walking. Seem to happen all at once which makes me suspect it may have had a knock on one leg.

Thanks

You're probably right. That's not much of a shift, and could have been caused by a fall or sudden impact.
