to interference, unstable serial port or a ground problem.
Also switch off any wifi, bluetooth modules if you have them.
I had this problem with a laptop driving my cnc mill which is basically the same as driving a KHR-1.
If your on a laptop try both powering your laptop with adapter or battery only and see
if things change.
Best is to try a second computer to eliminate this possibility.
Second possibility and more likely:
You shouldn't have to tinker with the servo settings.
This is not the problem.
For me the problem only occurred when using the gyros.
I think it's power related.
Either to little or to much volts.
To much volts can also cause this but i won't go into this yet before
you tried the solutions below.
What do you use as the power source?
If it's the stock battery just dump it. It's useless as is the charger.
Get yourself a decent Nimh GP 1200mha cell pack and a decent nimh charger (you cannot charge nimh with the stock charger!) at your local radio control model hobby shop.
These shops have the best batteries and chargers in the business.
Or a stabilized powersupply of at least 6 amps continuous.
I think your problems will cease then.
Why?
A little info on batteries.
Nimh keeps it's voltage (6v under load) until the the battery is empty.
Nimh doesn't have memory problems.
NiCad (the stock battery) has memory problems.
This means that it will be impossible to charge fully every time you charge when the battery wasn't fully empty'd.
NiCad looses it's voltage as soon as a few minutes after use.
And it keeps dropping all the time.
The KHR-1 electronics have a threshold voltage for them to keep working properly.
A NiCad pack will reach this threshold way before the pack is empty.
So you charge it again.
It will not charge fully due to the memory problem.
The problem becomes worse everytime you recharge.
And so on and so on.
You can guess what this will mean for the KHR-1.
Also the stock charger is junk AND CANNOT BE USED TO CHARGE NIMH!!
I think that's the problem.
I know all this because i have raced rc cars in competition for 20 years now.
Remember that the robot is useless without a decent power supply.
It's the most important upgrade you can do.
i Use a 7amps laptop adapter now which solved all my power related problems
Also i build 2 li-poly 1800mha packs into the foot soles for remote operation.
Each driving a rcb-1.
Li-poli has all the positive things and much more like nimh but
have also a few problems.
NEVER EVER TRY TO USE LI-POLY IF YOU DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING
THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT THEM.
THEY ARE VERY VERY DANGEROUS!!
For those who want to know about Li-poly just ask.Statistics: Posted by Meltdown — Sat Dec 03, 2005 3:37 am
