Hi could anybody give a newbie some advice, I have had the bioloid for some time but only had success with the very basic robots, I have just built the walking droid, it tries to walk but after a few seconds crosses it feet and locks up, the test program is all OK, when I load the behavious program and go through the stages all are OK until it get to the last, instead of returning to a neutral position it locks its feet. I checked the alighment of all servos and all were as should be, dont know what else to try... help.....
The clappink penguin would not clap but, Greeting penguin would not greet etc etc...
The first 8 basic robots were fine

Did you load the motion files before trying the behaviour programs?

I loaded the check servo program - ran it, all checks OK, loaded the walker program, ran it - (servos locked), powered off the CM-5, then loaded the behaviour program.
I forgot to mention that I have taken it apart and rechecked everything, same result.

This looks like it may be a good start - have you done this?

I have just got the droid to walk, downloaded the demo program but didnot press the play from PC putton, ran from the CM5 and OK, anyone got any ideas why it wont run from PC
got a bit excited when it walked - well until the screws fell out of it leg and it fell over, at least I know how to twist a screwdriver...
