I've only ever used with the standard NiMH battery's so can't give any assurances . The Basic I would expect to work fine, but the charging function has not been written for LiPo. If someone can supply the algorithm or better still the code I'd be happy to build a special Lipo version. But otherwise just avoid using the Basic charge command 'x'.

You can see the function ChargeMiNHcode here: https://code.google.com/p/robobuilderlib/source/browse/trunk/basic/main.c

Special Firmware for Users with LiPo battery

2012-02-15T11:55:21+01:00

Hi

An updated Firmware Version for Users who have a LiPo Battery is now available from Robobuilder.
It can be downloaded here:

http://robosavvy.com/RoboSavvyPages/Rob ... _11.1V.zip

We were not informed what were the latest changes in this firmware but we believe that feature wise it should match the features included in the firmware versions for Robots with standard batteries.

Please note this firmware is ONLY for users who have LiPo batteries on their Robobuilders (either custom hacked or those who purchased the High power Upgrade Kit [please note that this High power Upgrade Kit is no longer available from Robobuilder] ).

Closing note: The LiPo or High power Upgrade Kits are no longer available from Robobuilder. We post these firmware updates to continue supporting users who have LiPos although we no longer supply these accessories and they are not available for sale from our store or from the manufacturer.

Special Firmware for Users with LiPo battery

2012-02-07T11:04:00+01:00

Hi Ries

With regards to firmwares for users with LiPo we have stopped receiving updates from Robobuilder.
In the "old" days the firmware versions for users with LiPo was usually not published on their website (they used to send it to us) but I can check.

With regards to normal firmware versions and versions that have the "n" marking, the difference is the versions with "n" are designed for users who have Self Running motions installed on some if their servos. (if you're not familiar with "Self Running Motions" these are simple behaviours that can programmed into a servo and the servo performs the task autonomously; you can see the wCK manual for more information).

I don't know what the normal versions (without the "n") do differently though but I know this one would be recommended for most users and the "n" for those who use self running motions.

Finally with regards to the firmware version discrepancies between the Korean website and the English one I will ask Robobuilder as well post back.

Regards
Pedro.

Figured I would just ask here instead of making a whole new thread.

Is it still possible to get these lipo batteries and if so how much would they cost?

Hi Novaone

it's not your mistake. what I meant to say was that I received it yesterday and uploaded it to the folder/url I mentioned on the post.

So indeed, thank you for bringing this to my attention. As I often don't notice that new firmware versions are released and Robobuilder always forgets to send us the LiPo versions, it is indeed very helpful that users bring it to our attention.

Regards
Pedro.
