today i tried to finish my first soft for my premium.<br />i will tell you about it later.<br />but testing it, i didn't saw some wires were damage at the foot level because of an error in my code.<br /><br />result : <br />4 dynamixel out of order : <br /><br />the first had just its ID changed.<br />the second and third were founded as unknown with roboplus manager.<br />the 4th was unreachable...and red led was always on.<br /><br />my new brand premium i got for my 39 birthday!!! <br />i was really disappointed...<br /><br />so i started to try to fix them, and it works using dynamixel wizard.<br />i took a standard dynamixel cable and removed the data wire.<br />i plugged it into cm510 port with smps connected (turned off).<br />i used another cable with its 3 wires (vcc is not connected on usb2dynamixel)<br />i plugged usb2dynamixel in ttl mode with this cable to one of the actuator.<br />i plugged the other cable (without data wire from cm510) in the second actuator port (for vcc and ground).<br />i ran dynamixel wizard and follow the dynamixel firmware recovery procedure.<br />I managed to recovery every actuator even the one which was not detected and led always on.<br />i hope it will be OK for a long time now.<br /><br />my first steps with robotics are not as easy as i thought...<br />but my first piece of code give me the results i expected.<br />COOL.<br /><br />see you..<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="http://forum.robosavvy.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=1934">FabinovX</a> — Thu Feb 04, 2010 2:38 am</p><hr />
