I need some help on repairing a servo motor. I was programming JD to walk, it was working fine at first, but all of the sudden it jumped like crazy and I did not notice the loose servo motor until I turned it off and picked up JD then the leg just went down. I opened up the servo to see if there were any loose gears, but I can't seem to find anything wrong. Is there anything that I could do? other than buying another servo motor?
and if possible would somebody please take a look at my script. if there is anything wrong with it I would like to know so I can avoid it on the future.
:walk servospeed(d16, 10) servospeed(d17, 10) servospeed(d12, 10) servospeed(d13, 10) servo(d18, 83) servo(d16, 130) servo(d17, 45) servo(d14, 95) servo(d12, 90) servo(d13, 90) sleep(500) servo(d16, 90) servo(d17, 90) servo(d12, 45) servo(d13, 130) sleep(500) goto(walk)
Thank You
rich do you mean this whit the walk allreddy in?
Yea i think he meant that one nomad.
hi bautista
did you find some new thinks whit your jd?
No, not really just played around with the joints a bit
@A.Bautista.... Ok, that servo doesn't sound or move right at all, there is definitely something wrong with it... Try your script on another servo to be certain ... However, in the mean time contact EZ Robot using Contact Us and explain what is going on... They will no doubt replace it for you.... Don't forget to quote this thread so they have an idea (see the video themselves) of what is going on...
Richard R the other leg works just fine. Its like something is wrong with the gears inside as if the motor kept on spinning instead of stopping or resisting movement on the bad one. And will this be consider manufacturer’s defects, if not I could get some lever servo motors with my store credit
Yeah, I think that servo may have had it. I've seen this happen a time or two when Im flying my RC airplanes. I then replace the servo and all is good.
The servos have metal gears inside, and we have never seen that happen - although I can imagine a gear stripping if it's under too much load or aggressively handled.
Since your robot is brand new, I would assume that to be a manufacturer defect. Contact Us and quote the link to this conversation topic. Aislinn will take care of you
