I dont know what I did , But I was downloading some code to try and get my Accelerometer working correctly and when he booted up his left arm curled up over his head and his leg did some funky move then he went limp and rebooted himself, after that he just keeps rebooting. I tried to send just the basic templat to him, but I cant seem to send it before he reboots again. What can I do? Have I damaged the processor somehow with the code? Did the Boot data get corrupted somehow? Can it be recovered? I'm freakin out

Check your battery. Make sure it's fully charged. If that's all ok then try disconnecting some or all of your servos from MR-C3024 and then try to reprogram. You may have a servo wire that's shorted.
Its unlikely that you have corrupted the firmware but perhaps the intermediate robobasic in the serial eeprom. You might try connecting your serial cable and entering robobasic and then power on your rn-1, then immediate press the stop button on the robobasic dialog to stop the rogue program.

I hope this helps. Good luck.

OK im an idiot, I forgot that the other day I ran that long workout routine and didnt recharge. I had to diable my voltage sensing circuit to enable another AD port and didnt realize how low the batt was. :?
Thank You
