KHR-1hv not moving servos

[Raymond]

Hi Guys,

My KHR-1hv is not moving the servos when I try to maniuplate via H3H. I will outline the responses so you can direct me as best you can.

1) On power up the led blinks once and statrys green continuously
2) RCB is recognised as all the menus in H3H work
3) Every msg sent to the RCB results in the leg green light blinking
4) The reset switch if pressed does nothing
5) Battery fully charged
6) Disconnected all servos but #1 to try
7) Servos have torque applied when unit is powered up

Please let me know if this can be remedied or it indicates sometihng wrong with the rcb3.

Thanks

Mark

Hi, Assuming the tick-box for sync is checked and the comm port is correct, click the button for datatable (table icon), and then hit the icon of a man in the top left.

Does the table populate with info from the RCB?

Hiya,

As I only now have one servo connected the table sems to refresh and M1 has a value of 41. Is this is a good sign?

The data table should list all the memory slots on the RCB3 all the way down to the S numbers at the bottom.

Have you been through this manual yet?

Although for the RCB-3J, it's the only English translation i've found.

Has the RCB been working before now and has stopped, or have you just started working with it?

Hi Orac,

I have ead through the manual several times, not the most user friendly to be sure. The unit worked befoe and I put it down for a while and only now had a chance to play with it. Now the basic steps to verify the servo which was working before seems to be non responsive. I will connect all the servos to ensure all the memory locations come back with values from the Table you suggested. If that works for every memory location, have you any recommendations that I may be missing to get the servos to respond.

Lastly is it possible for the board to respond to queries but not permit output to move the servos? If that is the case is there some IC or , resistor or capacitor I should look at to see if it is faulty?

Thanks

Hi Orac,

Upon further investigations I thought I'd highlight what I see explicitly in the Table:

Count, Date, Control
0, -/-/, 65535

As I've saved no motions I assume nothing will be present but I can save and read values from each location. I'm wondering if I saved info somewhere that causes the board not to respond to servo movement msg's.

Hope this feedback is helpful to guiding me down the right path if it is a procedural problem rather than hardware.

Thanks for your willingness to assist.

Cheers

Hi, not quite sure where to go from there as my robot is not online at the moment.

Might be an idea if you take screen shots of all the various areas of H2H so we can look for any problems. I would recommend all the screens including the servo set-up screens.

Are you using a home-made cable and have you double chekced the battery voltage?

You might find this manual a bit more user friendly.
