robophilo

[robomaster]

The SDK comes with c program source code to communicate and control the robot. You can convert it to C++ to control the robot using serial cable. You can use the bluetooth serial modem and use the same program to control the robot wirelessly.

Thats great. Thank you for your reply.

I have one more question. How many hours it took to assemble the robophilo for you. Is it an easy process? I had the experience of assembling the manoi.

[robomaster]

It may take a day to assemble it, a day to fine tune it and up and running.

[prathik23]

If I take a ready to walk robophilo, I don't need to work on the fine tuning also rite? Is it will be fine tuned and delivered to me?

[robomaster]

Ready to walk model is assembled and have coarse tuning only. You need to do the fine tuning using the GUI. It may take a morning to follow the manual and do a good fine tuning.

[prathik23]

Thank you... then I will go with a kit and assemble it...

How much time we can use Robophilo when the battery is fully charged. Can I use it while charging or Do I need to charge the battery and then use it?

[robomaster]

a full charge can run for 20 to 30 minutes depending on your motion.

you can run the robot with charger plug in with the battery, for a few hours. The charger alone can not run the robot since the surge current can be up to 3A.

[robomaster]

you can also purchase the 2nd battery kit to double your run time by running the robot with 2 batteries in competitions.

I normally plug in the robot with the charger to program the motions. I can do the motion changes for a few hours without problem.

Do the Robophilo gives an option to control the velocity of the motors. I know that Bioloid has position control and Velocity control. Is it the same for the Robophilo. I am writing the technical details which explains my statement for the Bioloid motor...

Powerful feedback: It can provide current position or speed as well as information regarding internal temperature, supply voltage and target position.

Compliance Driving: Control the amount of elastic force in position control.

Torque set up: Torque can be set up by 1023 steps from maximum torque to free run stat

[robomaster]

you can control the servo position and velocity with robophilo, but it cannot have the other features you metioned. However, it may cost a lot to buy the bioloid sdk for you to develop C or C++ program to run on bioloid on top of the bioloid firmware?? please check.

[prathik23]

Does the robophilo kit comes with the sdk kit to write the C codes or we have to buy it separately?

[robomaster]

The SDK for C programming need to be purchased separately for $99.

i already ordered robopilo kit ... waiting for that i will order the sdk kit soon... Thank you...
