ERROR:8100 ???? Any help?

Hi guys, first poston this forum, and, of course, its a problem.

Had some problems getting bioloid to work as another user before me (is a project piece from uni) had messed up the ID's. Anyways, got them all programmed up right again, andit worked for a while, but now crashed after a few seconds use and when plugged into robot terminal produces pages and pages of ERROR:8100 followed by an array of different numbers. At a loss here as the documentation does not seem to cover this at all.

Any help muchly appreciated

Occasionally I get a similar error (can't remember the error number) when I unplug a servo from the CM5 while it is still on.

You may want to check all the wires for breaks/fractures - any temporary loss in conection may be triggering the error.

Please post a screenshot of the error.

I think that I had the same problem after I reset the dynamixel. If you have reset the dynamixel too... Have you checked the baud rate parameter?

Dont really know what to do with the baud rate. What should it be set to?

Can anyone tell me what my baud rate should be set as?

First of all, CHECK if YOUR current baud rate have the correct value

From the AX-12 manual, page 13.

Address 0x04 Baud Rate. Determines the communication speed. The computation is done by the following formula.
Speed (BPS) = 2000000 / (Address4 + 1)
...
Note A maximum Baud Rate error of 3% is within the tolerance of UART communication.
Caution The initial value of Baudrate is set to 1(1000000bps)

And IF this is YOUR problem... from the same manual, page 24, Example 8:

Changing the Baud Rate of a Dynamixel actuator to 1M bps
...
