I was able to load the fast walk. Make sure all of the Poses,Sequences, and Routines listed and that the syntax is correct before and after you past into the motion file that you are attempting to upload.

I put it in all of my motion files. I'm sure they work. You must have done something wrong.

Where do you find that file? I saw the info on robobrothers but can't seem to find the place to get the file. So trey, if you have the file your one step ahead of me.

That is wrong. You have to cut the pose's only and paste them at the end of the list of pose's, then cut the list of sequences only and paste them at the end of the list of sequences, then cut and past the list of routines at the end of the routines. The structure of Pose's, Sequences, then Routines must be maintained, also pay attention to the headers and footers of each and keep them consistent with the original motion file.
Here is a link to the motion files on the robobrothers website.

Good Luck

You also need to add the poses and sequences from the fastwalk.txt file located on the cd and combine that with the poses and sequences from the fastwalk posted on their website.

Correction, you do not need to combine the fastwalk from the CD with the one posted on the robobrothers website. It works without combining the two.

I did it just like the readme said to and pasted the whole fastwalk file to the end of my philo-motion file and that worked fine. However when I added the stablewalk to the end of that, I got nothing. So then I added to stablewalk to the end of the original philo-motion file and the stablewalk worked.

I am just guessing that the file becomes too large and will not fit in philo's memory, so the end just disappears. I am going to try the jaybirdtke method though because the fast walk is not very fast and the stable walk is not very stable.

Lastly, how do you get the number buttons to work? I can get them defined in the philo program and seem to work when philo is hooked to the computer(I select the button on the computer and click run). but the actual buttons on the remote...nada.

all numbers must be 2 digits (01, 02, 03, etc.) and you must wait about 2 secondes between each digit, then press enter after the 2 digits. It works but not very consistently.
