Hi guys,
I am sorry, it should not be BCP, but Motion file.I have change some parameters in some motions and I forgot already to record the original one. i have redownloaded mtn file or even to re-install my Biloid software..
but still the same...

I just downloaded the ROM file in the cd.

thank you

cheers

any idea?

Have you tried to reload the motion data (mtn file)?

ROM version. How to restore the original version ?

Did anyone crack the Dynamixel Configurator cable?

I suspect it could just be a resistor/diode job but the question is which pin? The diode would remove the negative voltage swings and the resistor current limit and or voltage drop. A Max232 would need power which could be derived from other of the serial port pins but is a costly solution to the problem.

Also, just because it is the serial port that is being used doesn't mean the high baudrates couldn't be used by toggling the individual pins on the port directly in software.

Wait a minute, how do they reach 1mbps from the PC serial port ?

I would bet the cable has a MAX232 chip or similar inside.

You’re both right of course. And it doesn’t look there’s a lot of simple ‘homebuilt’ potential for the electronics to convert rs232 to ttl if you look at this link.

Good point! Thanks for bringing that up. The Bioloid uses TTL for its serial communication between the CM-5 and the Dynamixels. TTL uses voltages of around 0 volts (for logical 0) and +5 volts (for logical 1). The serial communication to the PC uses RS232, which typically uses voltages of around -10 volts (for logical 1) and +10 volts (for logical 0). The RS232 spec allows for up to 25 volts.

See the Wikipedia document on RS232.

I am afraid it cannot be a "simple" cable. There must be some electronics within these apparently simple serial connector. Remember that AX servos are managed using TTL signals.

Concerning the Dynamixel Configurator a few posts above from inaki & barbar.

(http://www.besttechnology.co.jp/goods/revolute/index.htm#BTE063)

Found this simple looking cable on the besttechnology site (article number BTE063). Looks like the AX-12 is directly connected to the com port. Curious to what pins the wiring in the plug goes.

O.K. Here is my short report in addition to Pevs. I also upgraded to

CM-5 Version 1.13
Behavior Control Programmer Version 1.25
Motion Editor Version 1.14

No noticeable improvements ... same random spasmodic unprogrammed positional glitches as before ... running out of towels!

And when I go to menu "Help", "About Motion Editor" my system hangs up (maybe my antique system) and I have to use the windows task manager.

Have just tried the 1.13 firmware. Update suceeded, I reloaded my motion file just to be on the safe side but within a couple of minutes I got a spasmodic unprogrammed movement

Guess we need to wait and see what Robotis say, but I would be very interested in anyone elses feedback and experiences.

As I have now the 1.10 version I will go ahead and install version 1.13.
After all the worst thing that can happen is having to go back to version 1.12.

I was loooking this morning at the Robotis site and there was still the 1.10 version !

Fortunately there is some improvements on the Robotis software side which is good.
