How To Cut The Port Power After Completed The Action

Hi,

I have a problem about the servo, it is easy to burn out after completed the command. It is because the last position keep holding. Then, the servo overheat and out of service.

So, anyone can tech me that how to write the script to cut the port power until the next command order? Or Just use the "servo release" to fix it? Or other methods can improve that?

Thanks for your attention! Ricky Ma;)

Yes. The -1 means "skip this servo for this frame". And a 0 means "release the servo during this frame". Here's the documentation for the Auto Position, which can also be accessed by pressing the ? question mark: https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/Help.aspx?id=180

Quote:

  • In a frame, the position of a servo is between 1 and 180 degrees.

  • If the value of 0 (zero) is specified in a frame, this releases the servo from holding a position. The value of 0 tells the servo to stop holding a position and will become limp. You will notice the value of zero being specified on some robots where a servo is not needed within a frame, or when using Continuous Rotation Servos. Setting the value of a 0 (release) on a Continuous Rotation servo will cause the servo to stop rotating.

  • The servo value of -1 skips the servo for the frame. If a value of -1 is specified for a servo in a frame, the position of that servo is maintained and nothing is changed.

Ricky Mah, That's an over the top female robot you made. I've watched a number of your news coverage videos and am very impressed. Good for you to get such attention. You certainly deserve it. Nice work! Shen really looks and acts like she's a real woman.
