I have been seeing some strange behaviour when getting my Bioloid Humanoid to just stand such as :

Was really starting to annoy me so in pure desperation I turned to the manual.

OOPS turns out it is probably my own fault. I had moved the standing motion to Motion Page 1 for easy reference, however on Page 78 of the manual it states:

"Page 0 and Page 1 have special functions so it is recommended that you do not use them"

Since moving my standing motion away from page 1 all has been fine.

Just thought I'd mention it.........

Seems I was wrong.... My bioloid is still exhibiting this issue (fault?)....and now even with the Robotis supplied code and motion file I get issues with legs kicking out sideways and other unexpected and unprogrammed movement.

Is anyone else seeing this problem?

Cheers

hi pev,

same sporadic symptoms over here!

It looks like data-rubbish going through humaloid 8) sometimes when I run a bpg-program. But e.g. if I "play" with poses or individual servos using the motion editor I have no misbehavior. Could it be a problem of the Behavior Control Program? I'm still testing in order to find reproducable conditions.

Also looking forward to feedbacks from others.

(sorry for my ...)

Barbar,

I am seeing exactly the same thing. Everything is fine when working with the motion editor in program mode (except for a few hangs of the software), but once you try to call the motions in a behaviour Control Program things get very sporadic......

Have emailed Robosavvy and Robotis about this today so hopefully will hear something in the next few days....

I have also managed to blow the glass fuse in the CM-5 when the bot went a little mad and servos hit brackets (probably caused a high current drain and blew the fuse for the battery). Am just about to replace it now

strange behaviour

pev,

I'm wondering whether the strange behaviour only occurs when the sensor module is somehow involved. I've written a short program without doing anything with the AX-S1 and (cross fingers) no mistakes til now

Barbar,

Interesting thought - did you actually disconnect the sensor module or just not call it from the code?

I'll have a go at this as well

sorry Pev,

just had an unprogrammed kick without ax-s1 connected and accessed.

So I'm keeping on testing ..

I have just had an unprogrammed arm movement in the motion editor as well so it looks like it may be a bit more than just the Behavioural Control Program. I did notice that there is a verison of the underlying control code for the profdccessor on the CD. It is version 1.10. My CM5 is at version 1.12 according to the robot terminal program. I am wondering it it may be worth downgrading to 1.10......

Think I may wait to hear from Robotis.....

Ooops. I have downgraded accidentaly to version 1.10 !

I was trying the programming interface and replaced the ROM with the one in the CD. I did not realize that it was an earlier version!!!

Now that I have 'downgraded' do you me to check something in particular ?

dear inaki,

would you please simply build the humanoid and then test if everything is working under 1.1 .. :D sorry!

Hi, I received a message from Robotis saying that they are now aware of this issue and will post a software update in a few days.

For those searching for answers, the glitching or unprogrammed motions problem has been solved by patching the CM-5 and all AX-12s as described in this post:
http://robosavvy.com/modules.php?name=F ... opic&t=309

This post shows where to download the software in one handy package, along with some other enhancements and additional robot files:
