I'm not sure I understand you, but I will try to help you...

When you load a C program in CM-5 you overwrite the standard firmware, so, if you want to use the firmware functions, you should restore the firmware.

Visit Robotis support website to restore firmware

Nop I want to clear screen on my C program to refresh data , because with
printf("\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"); after a moment I've got a headache

I want something like clearscreen() or refresh() but on bioloid

thanks

By screen I assume that you mean the output area of the terminal emulation program that you are using. This area is maintained by the terminal emulation itself and the ability to clear it will vary from program to program. For RoboPlus Terminal you can use keyboard combination ctrl+L or select the clear screen item from the File menu.

VT100 terminal (most are) respond also to "Esc [ 2 J" to clear screen - ESc being Ascii 27. This is generally quicker and better. Not sure if code can generate that, if its "C" then :

putchar(27);, putchar('['); putchar('2'); putchar('J');
