Persistent Servo Calibration

The servos looked almost good, so I skipped the hardware calibration for now. Both arms show a bit to the right, fixed by fine tuning to max. 12 units. Q: what's a unit?

When turned on, the servos move to strange positions. The head is fully thrown back, one arm almost straight, the other one down. This position seems to be reproducable, so I'd guess it's stored somewhere. Q: how to influence the servo turn-on positions?

The "Dance" script seems not to honor fine tuning? The arms seem to have an right offset (like uncalibrated), and the left arm strikes the head while moving. The "Stop" script moves the arms into the expected (straight) position. What am I missing?

Finally, after Stop, the servos tend to produce noise (humming), which sometimes can be reduced or eliminated for a while, by manually lifting the claws a bit. But after some time the noise starts again, well amplified by resonance of the entire body :-( I suspect that this behaviour will stress the battery, and it also stresses my ears. Are the shoulder servos too weak for supporting the weight of the entire arms?

Apropos noise: the Dance music is very nice, but a bit too loud for me. I'm missing a volume control with the soundboard. Even if I know (now) that SetVolume can be used to influence the sound volume, I'm missing according instructions/settings with the project/controls.

He should not need to modify the frames because there should not be any collision. I am having the project looked at and we will make appropriate changes. Again, please wait:)

To clarify, I am having someone look at the project. We will change the project once it has been reviewed.

The project is being reviewed by someone right now. The project will be updated once it has been confirmed.

Please wait a moment while we review the project. Thanks!

@dodi All ez-robot servos have the exact same servo resolution. We are reviewing the project to see what frames are misconfigured. The misconfigured frames will be adjusted and updated.

I hope that the update will become available soon. In the meantime I could help myself, with your kind assistance :-)
