MR-C3024F and Robobasic 2.72

I am super late with the times and is there even a way for me to obtain the 2.72 update? The RoboBasic site is no longer existent. so am I out of luck? Furthermore, i-Bot, how exactly do I use your Roboflash and the binary 2.5 software to revert back to the prior version?

Sazabi:
Thanks for the link ...I will try it.

i-bot:

... servo zero and initial position ..... stored ..... internal EEPROM ...... Is it these that are lost ? Or ..... servo eeprom ..... affected ?

It does seem likely that it may be the C3024 eeprom... ie it's only the code in the uController that I should have changed....also the zero range in HMI programmer may not be enough to correct the problem.

To be honest, I am uncertain how to determine where to start......I have had this problem for a while and have put off posting because i feel certain It is just a stupid mistake on my part....I am more than a little rusty

Hi Chris, Sorry to hear you are having problems.

Their are servo zero and initial position stored usually stored in the internal EEPROM of the C3024. Is it these that are lost ? Or is it the actual servo eeprom which is affected ?

You can try HMI modded to work with 108 servos. I've played with mine and they still work).

WARNING About RoboBASIC 2.72!

Something has happened to the zero settings of my servos, leaving my RN useless.....I can only realate it to using v2.72

(note, also after removing 2.72, I am unable to get 2.5 working again )

I have ended up reflashing with i-bots orginal firmware, but some zero settings are still wrong.

While HMI Servo programmer will talk to the servos, they are 1.08 and so I am unable to save adjustments to zero's.

For the update, forget about the "firmware update" in the help menu, it does not seem to work.

Open a roboBasic program from the file menu and then select "run all" from the compile menu. You will get a message to update the firmware. This update does work.

To go back to the previous version or to load any other assembler or C code to the C3024, I have a program called Roboflash. Also a binary copy of the 2.5 software. I will explain how to use this if you ever need to go back.

Can you post the program that twitches, or is it a standard template ?

The only minor problem I have had is I had to put a delay loop in one program because it was now too fast writing to my propellor head.

Are you using the IR remote control ? Reading the IR remote does interrupt the motions and we are now doing that much faster. I use wireless control, so may not have seen it. Reading servo positions and music can do the same.

You will see below sazabi had some problems too, not sure if he resolved them.

I did not update from help. I only found that later. I have just put mine back to 2.5 and tried the update from help and it fails as you describe for me too. Loading a program under V2.72 and then "run all" does the down load OK. I will update this in my review, thanks.

Bigdeal
i had the same problem you did
i tried updating from the help menu and it didnt work
i uploaded a program from the new robobasic software and it started the firmware upgrade then
also i noticed that if you choose MR-C3024F as controller and compile and download program the robot twitchs if you switch controller back to MR-C3024 and compile and download same program it doesnt twitch odd
I-Bot any ideas?

When you do a "Controller Information from RoboBasic. What software version does it say there ?

All v2.3 and 2.5 controllers should work and be upgradable to MR-C3024F.

At what stage do you get the message ? Before or after the upgrade prompt, during program or verify ?

Is your battery well charged ?

I downloaded the 2,72 version.
Installing without problems, but when I try to update my firmware i got a chinese error message.
On the sticker on the controller board is V2,3 printed.
Is it so that u can't upgrade 2,3 to 2,72 ????
And can u upgrade MR-C3024 to MR-C3024F ???

Please some advise.

greetings,

bigdeal

It is a long time since the availability of roboBasic V2.72 and I assumed everyone was aware, and using it if needed to get better code execution performance.

I did not have time to further document V2.72 last year, and it was only recently in discussion with another RoboNova user, that there is still not much known about 2.72.

So here is some information which should help to understand, install and use V2.72.
