Need Help!...Problem with Humanoid

Hey all,
I recently purchased the Bioloid Comprehensive Kit. I created a few of the beginner and intermediate stuff then moved onto the Humanoid. Upon completion I ran the CheckAssembly program and everything went okay and all 13 dynamexels were found... But when I compared hte location of the Dynamixels and hit the start button the robot did not do what was shown in the picture. Instead of its arms extended sidways, one was up and hte other was extended. Its feet then began to turn in an upward motion. Upon troubleshooting he just continued to contort in very strange ways. I disassembled and rebuilt but it continues to happen. Was wondering if anyone could give any insight into this.

Update: A new problem has occurred. When I turn on my CM-5 there is just a solid light on power and no blinking lights that used to be there. And now I cannot connect to the Cm-5 from the Behavior control program. Was wondering if that had something to do with power so maybe I gotta replace the fuse?

Im kinda lose and would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

I wrote a post when I built mine last year, I had exactly the same problem.

You need to send the motion files to the CM5. I think, from memory, you need to upload the Bioloid firmware (1.15 is the latest, I think??) then go into the BCP and upload the motion files. Then you can go into the motion editor and tweak everything.

I may have this in the wrong order or with the wrong program names. It's been nearly a year since I did this :)
