Oh wow it worked! Ok it's great to be back after life took a turn a few years ago. I wanted to say hi and to share my recently revived humanoid robot project. Is this the best area to ask for help along the way? I was going to write in the project area but it said i need a video, and of course i don't have on yet so please let me know where i can post my project thank you.

You should post your robotics projects in Community/My Content/Robots. Yes, I too have had problems with text not saving properly.  Thomas (Creator of Simone the A.I. Fembot)

Hi everyone, i am currently having trouble trying to assign the servo profiles i need. The software seems different but then it has been a long time since i was doing this, but last time i calibrated all the servos and that was about it. I never had a back up and i remember last time i had a photo of the robot and all the servos assigned to their positions. I thought i would just do the leg movements leaving the upper body off, i controlled every servo and all were working well, surprised how strong they are. I have spent quite a bit of time trying to find the right link to what i need, but i just can't seem to find it, if i go to add servos it is grayed out so i know i have missed something. I was going over forum posts and when i would click on them those pages no longer existed. In the end i noticed Create Robot Skill, but when i tried that it said i don't have Microsoft Visual Studio installed, do i need that to assign the servos to the robot or is that just to showcase a certain robot skill to everyone?

Nomad 6R · Answer

lookin forwart to see the video .

Nomad 6R · Answer

how big is the robot ? or tall .

Toyhackrobotics · Answer

Around 500mm/50cm i think Oh the video isn't what your expecting, I removed the upper body and want to program the legs first. It's very boring video but i had to add a video as a condition of creating the thread. I'm adding pics to the thread now buts its 2am and my eyes are burning...just a few more...:)

Nomad 6R · Answer

wow thats a big robot you got there . now i wanna see the video even more.

Toyhackrobotics · Answer

Its not letting me create the thread, keeps saying i need a video and a profile photo over and over again, after what I've been through tonight this is killing me.

Nomad 6R · Answer

did you upload the video on youtube ?

Toyhackrobotics · Answer

Sure did, i have quite a few pics to upload but it's not happy with something I dont understand whats happening...

Nomad 6R · Answer

i cant see the video on your channel . maybe updates , delete browser hystory .

Toyhackrobotics · Answer

It must be the browser I'm on it doesn't like Brave by the looks of it, will try again tomorrow with another browser.

Toyhackrobotics · Answer

It's unlisted Nomad that's why you can't see it you need the link and it's not the video your expecting, it's one leg moving and that's it. https://youtu.be/hGY9Y6ogymg

Nomad 6R · Answer

Toyhackrobotics · Answer

[code][/code]Do the photos have to be a certain size for my project thread? I included the youtube video, added pictures with descriptions and it simply wont work. I've changed to a different browser but i can't start the thread, would my photos be too large? Can anyone help me please?

Dave Schulpius · Answer

I inserted this Youtube video of yours by coping your Youtube link you posted above. I then clinked on the button that looks like a little black box with the white arrow in it. You will find that button on top of the comment window. Once I clicked on that button I got another window that opens where I will inserted the youtube link. Then I clicked insert. When you do this make sure your curser is in the place you want the link inherited.   When you want to insert a picture make sure you chose "Upload Image" from the insert image button and follow it's instructions.

Toyhackrobotics · Answer

Hi Dave the video works but in the actual robot project thread I'm trying to create...nothing works. I haven't seen any documentation regarding a certain photo format or photo size. I resized all the images and it still wouldn't work...:( The link always appears in the thread as do the photos, but every time i go to publish it fails....many many times I've lost count. Yep i followed all instructions and have been on many other forums in the past, I've never had so much trouble trying to create a thread.

Dave Schulpius · Answer

Can you try to post the video here and see if it works? If so it's a problem with the site. I've never had a problem with file size. If linking to a working vid on Youtube using the proper button there should not be any issues like that anyway.

Toyhackrobotics · Answer

Only shows the link doesn't embed. It works on the build thread, but for some reason it resets the default cover image every single time... I will try on one more browser, if it doesn't work then I'm afraid I won't be able to show irt. Can i ask for help somewhere else? I'm really needing help assigning the servo profiles.

Dave Schulpius · Answer

Looks like your not using the proper Youtube button located at the top of the conversation window. Are you just posting the link?

Dave Schulpius · Answer

For help you probably only need to start a new topic. Select the question option when starting it. CS usually answers within a day. DJ is usually keeping track also.  Sorry, I've never had to use servo profiles.

Toyhackrobotics · Answer

Hi Dave..yes of course i was using that exact button for the youtube video. I was told i needed to start a project thread so happy i don't have to go through that again..

Toyhackrobotics · Answer

I will start a new topic thanks for your help Dave. https://synthiam.com/Community/Questions/HELP-NEEDED-FOR-21DOF-EZB-HUMANOID-ROBOT-21250

Dave Schulpius · Answer

Quote:yes of course i was using that exact buttonI meant no disrespect. Just trying to cover all the bases. I sometime miss little things like that myself and need to have another set of eyes help point them out. I saw your other newly started thread about your robot. I'm really enjoying it. I'm glad you were able to get something posted.

Toyhackrobotics · Answer

Hi  Dave only seen this reply now, this site gives no notifications of a reply i stumbled on it. Thanks again, i really needed another set of eyes last night, I'm up this morning and noticed all my frames are gone. I was up till late having a great time doing the movements, now their all missing and i know i saved everything but low and behold they are gone. Time to start again..very weird. laptop ran out of storage, crazy how dependant windows is on storage, it's a vacuum for it. After using Linux for years windows is taking me awhile to wrap my head around again. Can't believe i lost all my frames.
