Erase whole memory of the cm-510

[Buell24]

Hello

Is there a possibility to delete the whole memory of the cm-510?
I testet the bioC software but it doesn’t work. Then I restored the roboplus firmware and downloaded the task and motion files. But now, when I press the demo mode, the robot has a break of about 20 seconds between every motion. And if I obscure the DMS Sensor, the robot always makes a bow during the demo mode?!?!?!
That’s why I want to delete completely the whole memory of the cm-510 ald reload the firmware again. Or has anybody a better idea? I am pleased about every answer!

thanks a lot!

Sorry to hear about your trouble Buell24, let's see if we can't break this down to smaller pieces.

when I press the demo mode, the robot has a break of about 20 seconds between every motion

In Demo mode the robot waits around for non-zero sound count then if it dosen't get anything it performs a random move. This should happen every ten seconds or so. Are these the motions that you are referring to?

if I obscure the DMS Sensor, the robot always makes a bow during the demo mode

This is exactly the behavoir I would expect in Demo mode. The routine reads the sensor on port 5 and if the value is greater than 200 the robot runs motion page 1 (Bow). Didn't you get this behavior with your old task file?

Difficult but not impossible. However, if you have replaced the CM-510 firmware and reloaded the Task and Motion files then you have already overlaid everything of any value. I doubt it would change anything. Let's see if we can't resolve the other issues before trying that.

Thanks a lot for your reply Fritzoid!

Yes, I refer to these motions. But in that file, the robot should wait only once for 10.112 seconds. After that, (in the endless loop) he should play the different motions without a break between them. Isn‘t that right?
But my robot always waits a long time between the different motions.

In my copy of the task file, after the random motion is completed the sound count is zeroed. Then the Timer is set to WaitDemo which is 79 ticks (10 sec.). The code returns to the top of the Endless loop and won't fall through to run the next demo motion until the timer is again zero. Thus it should be about 10 seconds between motions.

There are a few different copies of the HumanoidTypeA.tsk file around some are better than others. The one I use is in my files area and has a couple of fixes in it.

Thanks a lot Fritzoid! I downloaded your Task file and everything works! It must be a failure in the file that I downloaded.
Thanks a lot for your help! It is a pleasure to get good help, when it's needed!
