When I first received my JD, I contacted EZ-Robot support because when connecting to the example actions, he would violently jerk and twist. The neck servo broke the second time I executed (EZ-Robot quickly shipped out a replacement).
Jeremie provided information about calibrating & fine tuning the servos and although completing the steps did improve performance quite a bit, I am still getting a violent spasm when executing the actions on the 1st exe. only. All additional executions work fine.
My router is only a few weeks old. We have the fastest residential internet Comcast offers, I never have any issues with connectivity on any other device.
I just put together a quick video showing the spasm issue: http://www.screencast.com/t/5vphNsQCC2N0 . Please review to see if you can point out what I am doing wrong. I show my settings and JD reacting to execution.
@thetechguru thanks for the confirmation.
The example JD project has no "spasm". It sounds like you are not using the JD example project. If you don't use the JD example project, you won't be able to share animations with others because the servo configuration will be different - also you will experience strange things like "spasm". Please use the example JD project
