Axs1 not responding..

[raphael]

Hello..
Recently I tried changing the ID of Axs1 module through vc++. Initially the ID of the module was 7. I wanted tochange it to ID 100. I refered to the control table address and found out that the adress corresponding to ID is 3. So, i used following piece of code in my program. After executing the code the Axs1 module cannot be detected in dynamixel manager. Please help me out.. Thank you

// Windows version
#include <windows>
#include <iostream>
#include <math>
#include <stdio>
#include <conio>
#include "dynamixel.h"

#pragma comment(lib, "dynamixel.lib")


// Control table address
#define ID 3



int main()
{
int baudnum = 1;

///////// Open USB2Dynamixel ////////////
if( dxl_initialize() == 0 )
{
cout<< "Failed to open USB2Dynamixel!\n" ;
goto END_MAIN;
}
cout<< "Succeeded to open USB2Dynamixel!\n" ;




dxl_set_baud( baudnum );
dxl_write_word( 7, ID, 100 );


///////// key check ///////////////////

if( _kbhit() > 0 )
{
if( getch() == 0x1b )
{
printf( "\n" );
goto END_MAIN;
}
}



END_MAIN:
dxl_terminate();
printf( "Press any key to terminate...\n" );
getch();

return 0;
}

How could you have the ID at 7 when you're allowed only ID's 100-109 for an AX-S1?

Hello Sniperscope..

Thats true... but as far as I remember.. the dynamixel manager was showing the ID of the sensor module to be 7. .. right now the AX-S1 module cannot be detected even in dynamixel manager.. Please give some suggestion regarding this. thanx

Disconnect everything from the bus except the AX-S1, ping probe every ID until you find it.

If you can't find it sent a factory reset packet to the broadcast address. That should make it ID 1 again.

Sorry for this revival, but it seems that after 6 hard working years my old friend AX-S1 has passed away. I've tried the good advise from stuartL, Roboplus scan and search tools, but nothing have worked. It is not detected.

Any recommendation will be welcome, but it didn't even beep when power up. Really I already have its successor but recover it and having two could be very interesting.

HI AX-S1cant have ID7 CAUSE THATS THE iD FROM BRIDGE 7 ANd 8
i think you need to change the id from ax-s1 into excample 20 or 21.
you can also try a new wire

ID ax-s1 is atleast id100
