Hi Gusberti

Please check the following:

- Make sure the Robot is the correct platform setting: if it is assembled as a humanoid, there should be a BLUE light on the PF1 led.

If it's not blue, please check the Manual of the robot for the section about platform setting. You need to set it to HUNO (if it's a humanoid or to other platform if it is assembled in another shape).


- Make sure all cables to the servos are connenected
You can run the Robobuilder Diagnostics tool (it can be downloaded on the Robobuilder Website) to check this as well.
Connect the robot to the PC, turn it on and run the tool. If it reports that there are servos un connected then you probably have some cable disconnected

Finally (but not least, make sure the Robot is charged)!

Regards
Pedro.

Thanks for the reply,
It's all checked all the cables in the right place
The pf1 is blue the humanoid mode and when
I use the robobuilder diagnostic tool I don't think
The computer can find my robot:( cuz I get the
same message when the robot is plugged on
computer and when he is not, the message the
computer show when I try to scanport is
COM4 searching for robobuilder controller|
failed to check the fireware version.

When I try to use the fireware upgrade tool
I have the message
waiting for bootloader active character...reset target...
Same message shows when the robot is connected and
When is not also. I even tried to press the reset but
Nothing happens.

As you can see I dont understand about robots but I
Want to Lear would be good if the robot was working

Which procedure did you follow to charge the Robot?

These robots do not charge like cellphones; it is not enough to connect them to the electricity. You need to press a combination of keys to initiate the charging process.

To charge I had to hold 2 bottoms
On the back of robot until it flash
Than I waited almost 2 hours until
The light stop flash but nothing happened
Do you think the robot could be broken
That easy:(

Hi Gusberti

I am sure your problem is a very simple fix.

The ideal would be that you run the Diagnostics Tool. You can download it from the Robobuilder website.

If your robot is fully charged then there is probably some servo cable that got disconnected; please see the assembly instructions to check that all cables are connected.

Running the Robobuilder Diagnostics tool would help you find which servos are disconnected or if there is anything wrong wit your Robobuilder.

Thanks pedro
The problem was simple as you said. It was an unplugged cable
That was hidden behind his chest
Now is time to kern a bit of the robot ^^
