Hi there, I've just connected a JD robot to my computer and have returned it to all the original setting and calibrations and have found that it still moves in reverse. What I mean by this is that when the robot performs a pre-programmed movement such as the bow, instead of moving it's body forward and it's hands forward the hands and body bend backwards. I've made sure that all of the servos are plugged into the correct ports, in the correct orientation but am still unsure as to what could be the issue. How do I fix this? If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I think you'd have to also unscrew it from the head and flip it. That's a second screw that goes in the center of the u-bracket up into the bottom of the head
Hi Paul,
It sounds like the orientation of the leg servos are backwards. The black screws on the leg servos should be pointing to the middle of the robot, and the wiring order across the bottom of the EZB (when looking at the back of the robot) should be : Left Thigh, Left Knee, Left Ankle, Empty Port, Right Thigh, Right Knee, Right Ankle.
If that doesn't work, try contacting EZ-Robot's tech support team, and they'll be able to walk you through the issue. You may want to send them a picture of the front and back of the robot, while it's in the start-up position. It's possible it's something technical, but 99% of these scenarios are cross wiring. I've done the same thing many many times.
here a picture to help.
Thank you very much everyone. I fixed the issue, the servos were in the wrong ports. I'm not sure what was happening with the head being in reverse, it's in the same port but even that seemed to fix itself. I thought they were correct but they weren't, sorry for the inconvenience.
