error code

[bladerunner5]

hi!

after a few months I wanted to get into some bioloid programming, but I got a problem with my ax-12+s:

none of them is reacting to position commands, other commands are working, but, as soon as I try to send them into new position, they begin turning continously or driving to position 12 and stay there with a 2 degree margin

servo 2 error says for exaple: 8100[0008:02]002 002 036 002 65535,
"8100" only is described as wrong ID or bad cable, but I dont think all my cables are broke, so what can I do?

is there anywhere a checklist to find a servos problem? could it be the baud rate or the com port #17?

ty for your time

maybe I´m a newbie, but I can´t imagine what I´m doing wrong when only downloading the prepared "ax-12 move" to one of the three 1-3 ID servos in the mbp, they don´t react appropriate in any way, how can I find the problem?

after building most of the robots in the manual I´d really have liked to build sth on my own, perhaps anyone can help me please?

What happens when you try just a single servo with Robot Terminal?

[bladerunner5]

I only have a white screen, also after disconn/conn the cm-5, with 1 servo attached, so the terminal also seams not to work, what the mbp and the motion editor did. I also tried to set the baud rate of the com port from the standard 9600 to 57k, but this also didnt help.
also I have to mention, that other features of the servo, like current position read, or similar things seam to work nice (I tried to turn off the motor, read position while turning by hand,...), but as soon as I want to implement a position command, the error occurs and/or they make weird things like described (endless turning when programmed with the official "ax-12 move" standard procedure, for example)
this happened to me from servo #1 to #3, and I didnt try further so far...
Am I really having an obvious problem? Seems like I´m stuck in the beginning...

Are you in manage mode? Hit the red button on the CM-5 until the manage mode light is blinking.

Startup Robot Terminal and turn on your CM-5.

Hit return on the blank screen. You should see a bunch of text and a list of all the connected Dynamixels. If you get this far I'd recommend not playing around with the Robot Terminal commands at this point because it is possible to make things more difficult for yourself by accidentally changing the baud or ids.

seems as if my last project was the obstacle detection car, cause my first 4 servos all were set to continous rotation mode. 2 days ago I tried to change this different times in bcp, and what didnt work then (what made me write this thread), suddenly worked today. sorry for wasting your time, would you please give me 3 last answers so far?

is there any documentation of robot terminal commands?
should I update the cm-5 for the new roboplus software and work with this?
where is the best place for questions belonging programming bioloid?
