My Bioloid doesn't work!

In the behavior control programmer, select the following menu/button sequence:
Management then Robot Motion then Write to Robot

This will bring up the standard file open dialog. Locate the file:
\Applied Robots\Advanced\Humanoid\DemoExample(Humanoid).mtn
on your CD that came with the Bioloid and select it. Click Open.

Page 15 of the Comprehensive kit manual covers this procedure as well.

Good Luck,
Royce

Sorry. Someone else is going to have to help you with the exact steps. I've not used my CM-5 in over 6 months as I built an interface to talk directly to the servos over USB.

But then i built it with the right IDs and it still doesnt work so my cm-5 doesnt work. so plz Help me and yes im a noob at this!!!

When you start the CM-5, do you see ALL the Dynamixels LEDs blinking one time?

When you connect to the Robot Terminal do you see all the Dynamixel IDs as in the page 187 of the quick start book (pdf or real book)?

It's very usual to have a cable not fully connected, either at some dinamixel end or at the CM-5 end of cable connector.

Yepp all that works but when i press the mode down to play and then press start nothing happends it stops blinking for 2 secs and then it starts blinking BUT when i press start while its on play the TXD blinks for 1 sec when i press the start at play might that help??
