Well, I can load the philo hex file just fine, after setting com1, then I can startup loadphilo and open philo-motion, it connects and disconnects fine, but still no movement on the fine tuning screen- or anywhere else for that matter.

Thanks, Trey. I hadn't thought of going back to the beginning, but I'll give it a try. I've got a busy weekend ahead, so it may have to wait until next week.

I haven't tried loading anything other than the original tuning files for use during assembly. Do I need to upload a motion file for the fine tuning process? My understanding was that you needed to do the fine tuning first, and save that file for the microcontroller to have a reference point when using the motion files.

I can't get any of the servos to move from the fine tuning screen.

hey, cool. well then, maybe you could help me out with something since Robobrothers doesn't answer my email... I'm not able to fine tune my robot. I was able to tune the arms after assembly, and the software seems to know the robot is there... it says it connects and disconnects, but I am not able to make the shoulder move so that I can set the fine tuning.

have you loaded any of the motion files on it? is it the whole left arm or just one servo?

I don't know, but they pulled down their faq and forum, so I'm looking for someone to tell me what I'm missing in trying to fine tune my bot.

Why has it lost it's luster? You guys seemed so excited about it last year, judging by your posts.
