I have been struggling to assign servo positions to my robot.
Old videos are either removed or are too old and doesn't seem to match the current software, so instructional videos look different and I'm simply having trouble trying to do something assigning servos.
Could someone please add a current link to current software that could help me?
As I've mentioned before it's been almost 5 years since doing this..last night i spent 3hrs trying to assign servos but i just couldn't do it, which was frustrating because i did it so easily years ago. It's intuitive up to a certain point, then i just don't know what I'm doing.
As mentioned previously all servos have been calibrated and the lower leg servos have been assigned through a multi-edit.
I don't know and can't remember how to drag the servo profiles to the image of the robot, unless i do that i simply can't proceed.
Oh my goodness...so i have to-Press Add robot skill from the button ribbon bar in ARC?
If that is what i was missing...because when i read that it makes it out as though i already have a fully functioning robot and wanting to share it with the world..the actual robot skill.
I'm going to laugh if that is all it is.
\But yeah the words are deceptive it made me very hesitant to want to add a robot skill.
Funny how video and pics upload to this thread just fine....but not in the project sharing thread?
If i have, can i just keep posting progress pics and video here?
Because trust me nothing is working on the other thread.
I had to install Visual Studio Code will see if i can assign the servos now.
So I'm back to where i started many hours later.
Having many issues with this...can anyone help me please?
Is there any video regarding Visual Studio installation?
Assigning servos is the same way as it was, use the auto-position skill.
Yep i installed ARC Teams.
Ok so it seems i don't need the Visual Studio then that's great thank you.
Has been too long Jeremie, I'll keep going I'm sure I'lll work it out.
I am having trouble with this, i can't add any of my servos,
My servo buttons are greyed out.
I can't take screen shots from the windows10 laptop so i can't show what I'm doing sorry.
Has been years since I've used windows also so that's not helping.
So original problem persists, i can't assign any servos, it's like it can't see all the servos i created in the multi-edit hence the buttons being greyed out.
I'm going to start again.
Ok seems all my 10 servo edits for the lower body went no where judging by this photo.
This must be the reason i simply can't add servos...the servos don't exist even though i connected and named all 10 of them.
Thats ok...back to the drawing board.
Their all in my work space and i can't see them anywhere else...i thought i had it but it's still the same.
After i assigned the 11 servos i chose Auto Position, it wont let me check the Port Edit Mode.
When i select New Frame its says i need to select from the list below, but theres no list.
So still back to where i started, i cannot select/add servos to the project.
The box in the picture is empty on mine so currently impossible to copy frame positions to the clip board.
Does the EZB need to be turned on for this?
So the box on the right with all the servo profiles aren't showing in my box, the box is empty. Can someone please tell me why the servos i have assigned aren't showing within this box for me?
I load the servo profiles into my work space, test each movement and save it. I re-centre the servo and move to the next one.
I did that for all 11 servos...so their not showing in the box and i can't even select a new frame. I wish i knew what was happening but i have spent the whole day on this and still after many hours I'm still back to where i started. I'm baffled.
Note that when you add multiple servos to the AutoPosition skill they all appear in the upper left, if you add more than one it will appear over the previous servo so you'll need to drag them away from the upper left corner one by one.
A servo profile is a one-time calibration file that can be accessed in the menu. Project -> servo Profile section -> Calibration
This should only be done once to fine-tune your servos to the proper 90-degree positions. You should only use 1 file for this and adjust it once, then load it each time you open your project for that specific robot.
A servo profile can't be accessed from inside the Auto Position skill. A servo profile will not be shown inside the Auto Position skill. The STAND frame will be your default frame that should be all 0, 90, and 180 degree values that you want to start building your other frames from.
Thank you for the video..all i had to was click on STAND.:P
I'll be back to let you know if it all went well, but there's no reason why it shouldn't now, thanks again.:D
.
So relieved to this again..can't believe i didn't click stand hence why the servo buttons were greyed out.
Fingers crossed for walking.
Oh it's a 22DOF...so the title is wrong sorry. I always forgot the torso servo.
I'm really enjoying your new project page. Please keep posting as you progress. This is an awesome robot build!
Welcome back! It's good to see old friends.
@Roborad-Hey thanks very much, long time no see how's your robot/s going?
It's looking very different now will add a couple of pics before he went under the knife. :P
The Terminator sounds interesting..?
Shipping has been weird for awhile many people have lost their jobs so not as many people as their normally is.
In my country it's been pretty bad with postage, but i recently ordered something from China and it arrived in 6 days which was a surprise.
It has taken 5 days to have something shipped from up the coast here, it's all over the place at the moment.
I just did my first movements, just doing the splits and standing back up again...having so much fun now i can't stop and it's almost 2am.
I'm really enjoying learning how to get it moving and fine tune the servos, adding the frames has been great.
Challenging to get it to walk, sadly i can't move my servos when their under load otherwise teaching it to walk would be really easy, so just baby steps literally for now.
I've got 5 servos for each leg so getting him to walk has been tricky, i stood up and walked whilst looking at myself understanding how his legs should be moving, i almost had him complete 2 steps but no where good enough so what you mentioned is going to help thanks again.
Found them.
here you find the excamples .
Hey Nomad, when i turned robot on this morning i noticed ALL the frames i created last night have gone or rather i didn't save them correctly.
I have to re-assign all 22 servos again.
But after doing it once i re-did them all in record time.
It's pouring rain outside so perfect day to progress,..hopefully progress.
Instead of a sit i had him doing the splits, can drop 4" off it's height when he drops.
i save them on my pc and in the cloud .
I realized why it didn't save 100% user error.
I'm going to close or rather mark this thread as resolved.
I'll attempt to do the project thread with windows, if that fails again I'll just keep posting here i guess.
