Yes (which makes it easier!). However, and this is possibly something for DJ, it seemed to only update position every 2 positions. Either way it's really easy to calibrate.
When you power it on it will move all servos a little, this is normal for any servo and any controller. Upon connection the init script sets the Movement Panel to "Stop" which makes JD stand up.
@Nomad... Your servos are not aligned in the brackets properly...
@Rich... Do the servos come pre-installed in the white brackets or does the user have to put the servos in the brackets themselves? If the user has to install the servos into the white brackets, then this has to be Nomad's problem... He never centred the servos first....
That would be awesome Rich... I am now seriously considering buying a JD...
To calibrate JD (or any other robot for that but JD is used in this example) follow the following steps, in this order;
Open ARC
Click Open to open your project, find your project and open it
Click on the Configure button under servo Profile
Leave all Calibrate Positions set to 90
Adjust each Offset, one by one, until the servo holds the bracket or part in to the centre position.
Once done click on Save, name the file and click on Save
Next time you open the project file you will be prompted for a servo Profile file (this is selectable at the bottom of the open dialogue)
Select the correct profile and click Open
Your robot is now correctly calibrated as per the servo Profile chosen.
The difference a correctly calibrated JD makes is from this;
to this;
As requested by @DJ Sures, here is my servo calibration profile.
@Rich... Question... When your adjusting the offsets, does it adjust JD's servos in real time?
Yes (which makes it easier!). However, and this is possibly something for DJ, it seemed to only update position every 2 positions. Either way it's really easy to calibrate.
@Rich... That's what I figured, just wanted to make sure... Makes sense, too...
Thanks Richard
i do excacly like yours.next time i power jd on he's back spastik. the pic is when i power on jd.when i connect in ARC,it gets worse.
