Does anyone know of English translations for the New KHR-1HV

I've found the English Construction document for KHR-2HV and that is very similar... so that should help building it but I dont know if there is much difference between H2H3J and H2H3 in terms of documentation and GUI so I'll tackle that challenge lter in the week probably..... (4 a.m. tomorrow morning if I get too involved..)

Oh and thanx to RoboSavvy.com.. Arrived intact 1 day earlier than predicted....

Oooh man I really would like to get one of those someday. I love my new Robonova, it would be fun to get the KHR-1hv and have my own fights at home! :lol:
Let me know how you like it once you get it built!

Got it midday yesterday and had some real fun building..

Essentially construction is the same as 2HV apart from the leg rotation DOF so the 2HV english manual was a life saver.

All went swimmingly, connected up and set home position... starange thing is that when you first send HOME position, it lurches as if its been given an electric shock but then good as gold it homes nicely. Every channel works properly through the range etc...

The example files are dodgy though. They basically dont work.

The Walk example, arms outstretched to the side, maybe thats meant to be that way but the leg positions are wrong, the upper legs move backwards and forwards as expected but the lower legs are bent backwards at 90 degrees so he looks like hes trying to crawl.

Luckily it was on the floor when i started the motion running as it keeled over backwards and loked like it was having a fit.

Im haoping for the best and assuming that its just an old file from KHR-1 which had different legs but knowing my luck...

Can anyone confirm that coz I think it would happen in 2HV if what im thinking is correct

Still the build quality is stunning...

From my KHR-2 experiance I would say that your servos positions are set up wrong. All the stock motions should work out the box very well.

In the home position settings are they roughly the same as in the docs. when I first set up my bot I had the leg servos wrong, when there at zero (in the home settings) there should be bent back would.

the way that I set my bot up in the end was to set the home position numbers the same as in the docs and then unscrewed and moved the servos so that the bot was standing properly. then fine tuned the settings, this proved to be the best solution and after this all the standard motions work like a charm.

Hope this helps bren

Thanks to a couple of nice folks on here, I have been pointed in the right direction.

The mistake was mine in that I mistook the Trim dialog for a POS dialog. None of my trims were set properly. Now I have corrected them the samples do run after I've renamed the files and removed the invalid characters.

The walk sample is the only one that fails on the last step as it topples over every time. Fine tuning I hope.

The one where it leans backwards then gets back up fails and the one where it does pressups but again they may just need tuning. Battery went flat so had to give up for the evening...

Again though, thanks for the help...

yep PaulP I got the same problem, the walking is not stable but the other motion are quite... probably I need to tweak the home position more... yep the battery become empty too fast....

Hi guys, i too found the supplied walking motion useless, too fast and too low. it falls immediately on its back. SO i found these files (posted elsewhere too)
link:
http://translate.google.com/translate?h ... n%26sa%3DG (you may need to click on the button which is the fourth down on the left of the homepage called motion transmission service)
. If you have the krt unit you can get it walking continuosly too. hope it helps...

Here is a rough translation of the KHR-1HV manual. It is a word for word translation so it may be a bit difficult to understand(allot lost in translation). This text and the supplied KHR-1HV manual combined should get you threw the build process a little bit easier. I will work on a better one when I get some free time, but for now this should work ok.

Not the best translation in the world, but it should help you get threw the build process...lol
