Yes I had some troubles with that as well, to add the new servos to the motion editor you should open the robot file you are using and in the motor number section you should type 21 e.g.:

3D file:humanoid.x
Motor Number:21
0:1:[1]Dynamixel:512
................................

And now for the fun part apparently the joint angle window in motion editor can only fit 19 entries there is no scroll option!!!! So you`ll see part of servo 20 and will not see servo 21. I wrote to robotis about this issue but still no reply. Here`s my topic:

No. only Robot Terminal sees all 21 servos. Motion and Behavior Control see only 19.

Update:
Hello everyone: Well this weekend I was going to finally start and build my own program for my robot with 21 DOF when I ran into a snag. In Robot Terminal, I tested and can see all of my servo ID's, no errors were noted. But when I started the Behavior Control Program I can see only 19 servo ID's. How is this possible? It's driving me nuts as I have triple checked my connections and could find nothing wrong with my setup. How do I get the Behavior Control Program to see servo ID's 20 and 21? Any hints/tips would be welcomed. Thanks

Hi there, congrats on your progress! If you want to make a custom gate you may want to take a look at the demo humanoid motion file. The fwd walking gate starts from page 60 and is spread through a number of pages, you may wish to use that as a starting point (that`s what I used). Another thing, notice how your body moves when you walk and try to replicate that (it helps alot to rotate the elbow bracket by 90 deg) so you can get the back and forth movemet from the elbow only.

Well guys I'm up to the point where I understand most of the commands in Robot Terminal. I am positioning, writing and changing the speeds etc.

At the moment I cannot spot any conflicts as the robot is responding to my inputs. Still can't figure out why his arms show as spread out in Motion Editor and do not display correctly. I don't really care except that it bugs me.

My next step is to figure out how capture a clean walking motion in Robot Term. I would be grateful for any hints and tips.

On another note I started my self teaching course using Teach Yourself Electricity and Electronics. Once I understand the basic why of things I'll pickup my first board (Axon or Roboard). There's nothing like a fever for something to motivate someone to learn.
Regards

Ouch!

I knew someone once who chopped off the tips of all 4 fingers that way! I hope you get better soon!

I will as soon as I re-cover a little bit. I struck my hand under the lawn mower yesterday while the blade had not come to complete stop. I ended up in the hospital with a hand injury. I'm on meds for pain. Good day to read/learn robot terminal. will report back as soon as I can.

Hello mpenoushliev: I have assigned ID's to the extra Servos. I am learning Robot Terminal. I will set the servos to their default positions as soon as I learn how (hopefully tonight). Thanks.

Hi sniperscope,
1) have you assigned IDs to the extra servos?

2) Try using the robot terminal to set all servos to default positions

Hello Trey3670: I checked and no they are in the correct alignment. I have been reading everything in site for the last 2 days to see if I can find an answer. Driving me nuts.
Thanks

sounds like the two shoulder servos are reversed.

Hi, sniperscope
did you try to change the robot file to Humanoid_ (this file is for 19 DOF) rather than Humanoid. Hope this helps
