you can try following the steps in www.robobrothers.com FAQ to reload the firmware, motion and configuration tunning. Sometimes, the firmware get erased if the robot is run at very low voltage. You can reload them in a few minutes.

I tried doing that. I have the print out of the birth certificate and entered all those values and the philo-motion file, which I have has all those settings but still he is not standing up. He is not at all responding to the commands, but I am able to connect using the philo.exe.

I don't no whats wrong with him and how can I make him walk...

Do you have any idea what should i do?

Thank you...

If you load the motion file only and not loading the configuration, your root should remember the old setting.

Do you have a print out as birth certificate for the robot? It has the settings for your robot. You can type it back when you do the fine tuning.

You can try the loadphilo utility with the generation motion file option to get the tuning setting from the robot.

i will order the SDK to but first i wanna upgrade the servos to have more strong and precise move of the body and then i will move on with the SDK...

I tried loding a new motion file to the Robot. The previous settings are lost and I am unable to recover it back into the previous state. How can I reset the settings to the factory tune settings? Do you have any idea?

I already got the SDK for the previous robophilo... it is very simple to program with the SDK. But the old robophilo i got has some problem with the PCB so sent back and got a new one... still waiting for the SDK for the new robo

I tried working on Bioloid(which has better torque) before working on Robophilo. But it has less degrees of freedom and then I switched yo robophilo. I am waiting for the SDK and will start programming it ASAP...

Thank you... Did you try to build your own motions?

I am just trying to get work with the default motions till know and will be creating my own set of motions soon.

i have made some changes in some basic motions like walking and siting down - up. and a robonova tribute motion, now i just wanna make some servos upgrades and i have some technical difficulties with my new high torque servos (mg 996) after that and if my project will work i will try to make more advanced motions like robonova or KHR do ... adding and some sensors is my next (far) goal!

i think for a such a low budget robot is a very good product for the entry level... keep working my friend .... !

But in the motio-library folder there are many motion files which are more that 8 kb for instance base-motion.txt is 38kb, dance.txt is 15kb and eight.txt is 16kb. I am sure the motion, which I am planning to write will be more than that. What is the funda behind that?

hi there ...
i imagine that 8 kB is the clear binary motion data that the controller can handle, by loading the motionfile.txt in the philo motion creator actually you load only the binary information of the motions that the philo controller needs and is by far less then 8 kB of binary codes...

I end-up with some broken servos on the legs... this robot is very delicate ....
you can broke something just by holding it to your hands...
i have ordered some new digital metal geared servos (the TowerPro mg 996)
and i hope to solve this problem....
just 6 euros each from ebay... i ordered 4 servos to see if the horns will feet... lets see....

Merry Christmas

What email address have you send your request to?

I usually get response from support@robobrothers.com in a day or 2.

Ahh finally i receive the OK from the support center .... they ganna send a new software CD a.s.a.p. as they told me ... i contact them on support@robophilo.com and i receive my answer from Radar Company Limited, after i google it i find their home page: http://www.radarrc.com/index_eng.php It must be a big hobby center somewhere in china - Hong-Kong or something and maybe there is the support for the European customers.
i hope to a fast delivery because i cant wait any more... i have Robophilo 6 days now and i cant even run the basic moves because he may need a fine tune again...
