The structure of the file "ZeroPose.ini" is as follow

[LINK]----->Soruce position
ID0=124
ID1=202
ID2=162
ID3=65
ID4=108
ID5=125
ID6=46
ID7=88
ID8=184
ID9=142
ID10=90
ID11=40
ID12=125
ID13=161
ID14=210
ID15=126

Hi elikpr

Can you please let us know more details on how you used this software and/or what it is supposed to do?

It's all in Korean so we have no idea what this is and would really like to know some more details about it.

Thx
Pedro.

Hi nicolas gomez

I have tried what you said, but it could not solve the problem.
Actually i have found solution. If you log in web page of robobuilder and not by english name but by korean username, there is a programm to solve such kind of problems. So I downloaded it from web page and executed and now everything is ok. Actually i have loged in by my korean friend's username and I guess you can not get access. So I have uploaded the file here:
https://rapidshare.com/files/597191304/RBzpt_v1.02.rar

Thank you guys for Helping!!!
Thanks to Pedro as well...!

I reset the servo and restore it's ID to 15. And Installed firmware 2.30 again but still the same problem(Hand position). Maybe the problem is in ControlBox? Is it possible to reset ControlBox as well?

Hi Elikpr !!

I've seen your problem; has attempted to adjust the Home Posture? See the manual in the page 93 to 100

In case of HUNO, if RoboBuilder’s motion is unstable or abnormal, you can choose to adjust the Home Posture. For example, if robot’s movement is different from what it is supposed to be and it doesn’t move as the way the robot file defines, you can correct the problem by adjusting the Home Posture

In the next image you can see the initial config of the huno

- The ID to each wck servo
- The P. D. I. Gain values to each wck

- The min limit ->minimum displacement, I used it to prevent damage in the articulations (breacked the link joints) of the robot

- The max limit-> maximum allowed displacement

- The initi pos -> are the values obteined after set the home position

This other image present the motion file call "HunoDemo_Hi " and the the init Values used for this motion

If after doing this (adjust the Home Posture) the problem remains, you can always rewrite with motion builder each of the basic movements.

Remember :

- When firmware of control box is upgraded, user should register the remote controller again (manual page 73).

- And do not forget that the displacement of each wck servo (in the basic movent and general a new movements ) are always referred to the initial position; and hence the your robot executes that strange movement in the WCK ID 15

I hope this can help you solve your problem

Hi elikpr

Then the servo is probably damaged and beyond repair.
I can give you a few last pointers but I think you probably tried them already:
- Try connecting the servo with a different cable
- Try connecting the servo chain to a different port on the controller
- When you disassembled it I assume you checked the gears to see if any gear was broken, or not?

Honestly I can't think of anything else that might be the cause.

Because you mentioned you had played with wCK programmer I thought the servo could have some parameters changed such as minimum/maximum range or some self running motion programmed.

However if you've reset the servo according to the instructions and still have the same problem I would recommend you either send it back for repair or consider purchasing a replacement.

I am not completely sure if this falls under a "manufacturing defect" since the servo has worked before but please contact the place where you purchased it to get some further RMA/assistance (if you got it from RoboSavvy please email sales@robosavvy.com and send your order number along with a link to this thread).

Regards
Pedro.

Hi elikpr

I got the information from the manufcaturer and posted the document here http://robosavvy.com/RoboSavvyPages/Rob ... Servos.pdf

It explains how to perform the factory reset on your servo 15.

Do this ONLY on the affected servo.

Once you do it, the servo should be reset to ID 0, so you need to use the wCK programmer to restore it's ID to 15 again.

Let me know if this has fixed the problem.

Best regards
Pedro

Hi Eli

One thing first: you should download the firmware version 2.30 (without the "n" at the end).

The versions with the "n" at the end are for advanced users and have some particularities in them that may cause malfunction (from what you've explained to me this could be the cause for the problem we're seeing).

Please install firmware version 2.30 (WITHOUT "n"):
-> go to http://www.robobuilder.net/eng/ then support -> Download -> RBC firmware 2.30 (without "n").

And let me know the results.

There is no problem with installing various/different firmware versions. It doesn't damage the robot.

I have also asked the manufacturer for the instructions about how to do the Hard reset because I don't remember all the details on how to do that.

But please try to install version 2.30 (without the "n") and let me know if it fixed the problem.

Regards
Pedro.

Hello PedroR

I downloaded firmware from:
1) go to http://www.robobuilder.net/eng/ then support -> Download -> RBC firmware 2.30n

This is the firmware what I installed. The problem is I also installed
RBC firmware 2.30
RBC Firmware 2.15

The Same story, same malfunctioned hand with ID15
2)
i did your second instruction and here result:

There are 15 wCK modules with no response.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
Please check if any of the wCK cables is not connected.

So, i guess we gonna do hard reset of wCK ID15 ???

Thank you

Hi Eli

It looks like the ID or some other configuration on your servo 15 may be wrong.

I have a couple of questiosn/suggestions:

1) where did you download the firmware that you have on the robot at this moment?
What is the URL/file?

2) Connect ONLY servo 15 to the control box and run the Robobuilder Diagnostics Tool.
- Does the Diagnostics tool show that servo 15 is connected and that all other servos (0-14) are missing?
- Or is it showing a different servo number connected?

My guess is that you have some Wrong iDs on your servos.

Your servo 15 looks like it's assuming the position of a different servo. It could also be that some firmware settings are messed up (on which case you'd need to hard reset the servo).

But first, let me know the result of items 1 and 2 and according to that result we will then move from there.

Thx
Pedro.

Hi

Can you please provide furthe rinformation about the issue?

What are the motions where the problem occurs?
As a abse test try controlling the robot using only the upper part pf the remote (ie the left, roght, forward, etc. buttons but don't use the numbers).

In this scenario does the robot operate correctly? if not, can you make a video showing the wrong movement?

If it works OK using the upper part of the remote and problem only occurs when you press the Numbers then the motions you downloaded may be corrupt.

In any case if you can make a video or take some pictures of the assembled robot it would be great.

thx
Pedro.

Thank you,

I did steps you told us, now it identifies all the wck s(wCk0,8,15). Everything is ok except:

Now I have another problem with default position of right hand(wCK15). In default position right hand(wCk15) goes back instead of going forward. And I am sure that i have assembled the robot right way, because it was ok before installing firmware(I was able to run some programs on it).

And also after turning on the robot, there is ERROR msg for about 30 second and disappears. Then what ever command I am giving to the robot, the right hand(wCk15) makes movement while left side does't move(even wCK 15 is not supposed to move it moves).

How to handle in this situation? Maybe there is problem in control box?!!!

Thank you[/quote]
