Robonova DEMO Videos... Look what we can do!

2006-07-26T20:32:20+01:00

Hey many thx. I only ever used the compile and download, which do not save the .obj file.

Since the .obj file contains the raw IM byte code rather than the source, we can use this make a simple downloader class which just uses .obj files.

Can't believe I missed that. My head to far up **** I guess !

You may want to look at the topic on the command question. I am not sure you need the fill command. This may save you a few seconds, but not as much time as you saved me !

Cheers
Richard

How did you make the .obj files in the above directory, and how do you use them ?

Thx

Manage file uploads

2006-07-26T17:30:23+01:00

Hey,
Been away from this site for 1/2 a year, and went to find some more Robonova scripts..
My "manage file uploads" brings me to a screen that tells me only registered users can access this part...
Any ideas?
I'd love to find more Robonove scripts..
Please advise,
Thanks,
Dave

The robosapien is mighty bottom-heavy... having four D batteries in his feet, makes him quite a bit heavier than the Robonova in comparison.

If it came faulty, there should be no reason why you should have to mess around with it to get it working properly. Personally, I'd send it in for maintenance or replacement. ...Unless someone else might have heard of a quick fix. I don't know enough about the internal servo circuitry to go beyond troubleshooting the little fellas. Sorry.

when robonova is off the servo is able to move the full 180 degrees with no problem, i can even turn it fully with the bracket attached and when im in real time motor control positioning the motor myself. but as soon as the motor is then activated it will only jump in large increments when i set the offset and also when its running a program.

i tried switching the leads to see if it was the CPU but then new servo attached just acted normally and how it should whereas the faulty servo still acted in jumps even in its new port. so it must be the actual servo is damaged. its not the gears because its able to move smoothly when off so it has to be something else in the servo, mabye the motor itself?

the adapter im using is one where you can set the volts to what you want, so i set it to 6v, however it only outputs 500mA max instead of the 1000mA that the robonova needs so it takes a lot longer than usual to charge the battery but i dont mind so much cos hitec said they'll ship me the missing charger soon

let me know what you think

Thanks for the props spin-cycle. Yeah, he's pretty amazing huh?
About your servo problem... What happens when you try and set the offset? does it move at all... or just in large increments?
Try switching the servo lead w/ one that works properly and see if you have the same results.
Does it move it's full 180 degs w/o a bracket attached? When you apply resistance or pressure to it, does it act or sound any different than the others?
The adapter, you're using is 6v right?
Hmmm, well give this a shot, and let me know what happens.

funny you mentioned the screwdrivers

2006-02-22T16:57:23+01:00

absolutally awsome article, i just recently finished my robonova too so it does kinda put things into perspective to compare my experiences with someone else.

i cant belive you mentioned the screwdriver thing! i went through like 15 screwdrivers, eventually also starting needlenose plyers to turn the screws until i decided to kinda forge my own screwdriver from the remains of one of the destroyed ones, still got it and it still works thankfully after i discovered certain errors i made in constrution

i really like the build quality and the software of the whole thing but i have had one or two mishaps. the first being that my kit didn't come with a charger so i have to waint for it to be sent seperatly while in the meantime im using an AC-DC adapter which seems to work for me. the other really big problem though is that one of the servo's seems bust, it seems to only move in large increments when activated causing it to throw off its balance and it wont allow me to properly set the right zero point neutral settings. so now i cant decide whether to fix it myself or send it back for repairs.
