Difference between HearToHeart3J & HearToHeart3

[ycwoon]

Can't seems to get an answer to this after searching the forums and googling...I did a side to side comparison of both manuals (english and Japanese) and they seemed to be the same...(I dont read Japanese)


What is the difference between HeartToHeart3 and HeartToHeart3J?
The same question for for the controller board RCB3 and RCB3J

without J is Japanese version and with J is English version?

I connected HTH3 to RCB3J on the KHR-1HV and it seems to be OK...no smokes etc... Just paranoid...dont want the thing to malfunction (tto expensive)

Thanks in advance...

I use HTH3 with an RCB3

I believe the RCB3J board is only used in the KHR-2HV.

Your KHR-1HV should have a standard RCB3 in it.

At this point there are several different board and software versions. In cronological order-

RCB3J - released along with the KHR-2HV includes almost all of the full RCB3 functionality with the exception of the serial (ICS) functions used for the KRS-4000 series servos.

H2H3J - the matching application for the RCB3J. Used with the KHR-2HV. Can work with other robots and servos as long as you don't need the serial functionality.

H2H3J English - so far the only version that has been translated. Works with the KHR-2HV and with the KHR-1HV, and Manoi AT01 stock configurations - but may not work if you change the servos to KRS-4013/4014.

RCB3 - the fully functional controller that supports the serial functionality. Used with the KHR-1HV and Manoi AT01 - primarily because they have KRS-4024 servos that could be swapped out for 4013/4014s.

H2H3 - the matching application for the RCB3.

RCB3 V1.03 - upgraded firmware with improved functionality released in Feb, 2007. Currently shipping with the Manoi PF01 and is expected to be phased in with other kits later. Motion files created for earlier firmware versions are not directly compatible since the conditional branch execution speeds are different, but can be edited to run.

HTH3_070205 - the matching application for the RCB3 V1.03.

As Orac mentioned, it's highly likely that your KHR-1HV is using the original RCB3.

As for potential smoke - it isn't likely. You should be okay as long as you stick with the original H2H3 or H2H3J software.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, the information and link provided is MOST helpful....

I bought my KHR-1HV from IXS since I am located in Taiwan. So most probably a RCB3

Assembly is easy but took a long time ~ 6hrs in total maybe...

OK, time to fire it up tonight...

I also brought my KHR-1HV from IXS and am currently in Taiwan.

I am here for the rest of June.

I have just finished building mine but am having some small issues getting it set up.
