This table gets empty everytime I launch the H2HJ
although the robot goes to the home position ok when power on.
How can I save the M-table in the H2HJ or board? Thanks!!

If I understand your description, when you click on the table icon the listing in the pop-up window is empty. All the motions you previously downloaded to the RCB-3J are still there. There is a small icon at the top left that allows you to load the motion table from the RCB-3J in the KHR-2HV. I don't have the listing in front of me, but seem to recall that it shows the M number, motion name, # of steps, and the assigned remote control keycodes.

You can double click on any of the loaded motions and change the assigned remote control codes.

The table is also very helpful planning where to store motions. With the RCB-3J you have the ability to create large, complex motion sequences that take more than one memory slot, but you need to be careful not to overlap them.

Having the robot go to the home position on power-on is okay, if that's what you want it to do. I tend to either have no motion assigned on power-on, or assign a simple one that just moves its head a few times rather than powering up all the servos. It saves some battery power and wear & tear if the robot just sits dormant until I want it to do something.

Thank you so much! :)

I just finished assembling it,
