You can also run the wire down instead of up like the instructions show for the hip servos. It's better out of the way of the arms like this.

Hi guys

Have you notice how i run mines hip to knee wire. I run it from the inside.

When I run from outside, it cuts cut by the hip. Now it does not but the length just fall short by 1 cm. Do you guys find the same problems?

The number is also the approximate size in cm.

in reply to UncleBob, in their instructions manual includes pictures of the cables in REAL size.

If you take a cable and put it over the picture of the cables, you can easilly see which image fits the cable/size you have and quicklly find out what cable it is.

I think robotis should labels the different wire for use with the servos. I had to guess my wires during construction.

It's a comprehensive kit. All three of my comprehensive kits have different cables. It seems like the cables keep getting worse as time goes on.

Kit 1 : Very good white connectors and very good wires. White sockets on servos.
Kit 2 : Way too tight fitting black connectors and very good wires. Black sockets on servos.
Kit 3 : A little too tight fitting white connectors. Flat ribbon wires. Black sockets on servos.

I think the connectors got discontinued at some point and that's why the change. The wire was probably changed due to cost since the original was so high quality.

Is it a premium kit?

The reason im asking; it looks like your cables are flattened, and melted together?? i have a comprehensive kit, and later got me a frame/cable kit, and neither of the cables look like that, the original ones from the kit were 3 seperate quite sturdy cables, from the frame-kit i got them as 3 seperate very soft cables.

Just wondering, its not that big of a deal

In my experience the knee wiring is very easily damaged if wired how the instructions tell you to wire it. A very simple change makes damage much less likely..

Just swap the wires. Bottom goes to top and top goes to bottom. If you give it a try you'll immediately notice why this counter-intuitive placement is so much nicer. You can also go the next step and tuck it into the clip as in the picture, but it's not required. I usually don't do it since it is so tricky to do.
