Hello guys,
a big update :

- the radio controller now it is working.
- all the gyro are installed but a need to tweak them more.
- I added properly a couple of red led into the eye and for the power supply I'm using the head servo hihihi.

He need a better home position... I still changing it because I'm not sure that all the animation are fine with the Genex suit...

a picture of my baby and soon more pictures and videos!!

cheers,

Hello guys these are the pictures where I placed the gyros:

Gyro Front/Back

Gyro Left/Right

@Kry10
yep the low battery animation start also when the battery is fully charged, weird!!
so also the r/c control and the usb radio control is not working for you as well...
strange....

@lampcov
ok when I got a sec I'll publish it

@Robo1
Where I can change the servo setting? I tried to follow the manual but it is not working... also where I can find the "football" servos setting?
Can you tell me the exact battery and charger that I need to buy ? after I need to connect it normally?

thanks

Hi there

About the gyro's location. The best place I found for them is in the middle in between the servo's. I took the head/plate of any blue tacked them I place, I tried other places and this seamed the best. Plus there out of the way in the chest. As far as setting them up I found waist playing around with them that have say the feet and the hip set low 2 - 5 is better then another set high 8+.

If the servo's are shacking then try adjusting the seetting for the servo's to the football setting. This seamed to helpout.

The standard battry is rubbish bin it and get a lipo a 1000 mha will fit in side the chest easily and there a lot lighter.

Don't wanna hijack, but can you post if picture of your 1HV in the Genex suit? I thought it only fit the 2HV. Thanks, Marc

hi daxx2k,
I too have the roughly the same setup, genex suit and two gyros.
For charging i bought an r/c battery charger with onboard monitoring via lcd. it charges the battery correctly and also allows you to cycle the battery to improve its performance.

I found the voltage setting weird. I set it to play a motion when it dropped very low, but it had the occasional spasm when it was on a newly charged attery/ constant power supply.... I still need to investigate that.

The gyros i placed under one of the arm servos the other i placed on top of the r/c reciever (both glued inplace). I think the best place is inside between the two servos, but mine seem fine where they are.

I believe that the only way you can increase the number of sensor inputs is by using a RSC-1 Sensor board (HV) which you can buy on robosavvy. Although i think the documentation and software is not yet translated. So for the time being ive steered clear of additional sensors.

The r/c controller, if you mean the usb computer controller(with ics usb), i have yet to get working..... Last i read the controller software was only for the normal wired control. While typing this ive just thought, i may have another avenue to explore to get it working. I really want to get it working as it cost me alot to get it shipped over from america.

Hope this was of some help

Hello guys,
I just finished a couple of days ago to build my KHR-1HV+Genex suit... that was funny
So after a deep research on internet and in this forum I can't find useful information about different things,
these are my questions I'll hope that someone can help me :

Problem A (gyro):
It's better if I put the two gyro near the hips or near the shoulder and exactly in the middle? does it matter?
Acutally my left/right gyro drive the two foot servos (ch 15 and ch 21) with 2x gain but those seems to do nothing...
the front/back gyro that affect ch 13/14/19/20 are vibrating and not counter rotate for keep in balance the robot.
I can tell also that the voltage on the analog sensor are ok (around 1.46v). so any tips guys?

Problem B (battery):
I got the battery from the kit and I got an uk adaptor for charging it, I don't really know for how long I need to
charge the battery. Probably I need just to test the voltage after 1hour, 2 hours and see if it go up or stay still.
guys what do you think?

Problem C (rest):
I saw in a picture that a guy manage to change the voltage number in the option menu, so my robot automatically turn off
when he reach 12v, how I can override this setting to reach 09,0V REST ? I tried to change the value but it seems to not work.

Problem D (acceleration sensor):
RAS-2 acceleration sensor !!!The sensor has two input but I got only 1 analog input left on my board, what can I do with it?
there is no information/configuration/setting on forum or website about it

Problem E (radio device and controller):
Guys I tried different time to follow the instruction on the manual to set up the radio comunication with the remote controller and the pc but still nothing happen... Maybe I need to try with another computer or there are some setting that I forgot to put? I'm using a dell m70 for testing.

thanks in advance,

daxx
